Okay, So I'm about 20 minutes early...

This is the only way I could possibly beat Spankybird to it...

On my layout I made another switch panel. I had several "almost accidents" because I couldn't see which tracksection had power on it. I now have a panel which indicates the powered tracks with LED's..

Made from junk stuff and a hand full of switches. (even the led's are used ones from an ancient process computer)

Great photos all.

RAK. is your ceiling painted blue, or do you have blue lights shining up? It looks great from the low angle.

With all the Corgi talk (I got some too), we mustn't forget that there are also other good deals out there. I found these Ford wreckers at the local Ace hardware, for $4.99. I'm not sure I can recommend the Yellow ones, mine had some engine trouble.

Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.

Great pictures, guys. I'm tardy as usual and will post some ideas for a trackside industry later this week, perhaps.

My California Zephyr is finally complete! i was able to obtain the elusive diner and now have a nearly prototypical consist: WP F3 ABB (which is how the WP usually headed up their section of the CZ) (Lionel powered A, powered B, dummy B), baggage, four dome coaches, dome club, diner (all K-Line with some custom work by jeff sohn), two sleepers (Lionel) and dome observation (K-Line). almost too long for my layout.

but it sure looks fine!

Spankybird, I like the Indians box car. Whenever I decide what I'm going to do, I'll keep an eye on the internet for Browns or Tribe trains.

I never even thought of that. I have an Indians tractor trailer and a Browns Thunderbird (the newer model not the classic). I'm not sure of the scale but I think the truck may work.
