The house has seven lights in it, the Market has five.

Nice photos for a fine Sunday morning.

John, I especially like the shot of the F3s next to the NS engine!

A few shots of days long gone when the reefers were manually iced (please excuse the lack of completed scenery - we are working on it [:)]):

A Berk stretches its legs on the mainline heading towards the icing platform a few miles down the line:



Lionel Lines 737 waits for the green to roll through the switch in the yard:



Shoving the reefer back to the platform:


Load 'er up!




Shack gives the high ball:

Here are a few shots of my progress... 6 x 8 layout w/ fastrack

A couple of shots of the overall layout...



Here's one of the "abandoned mountain line" (You need to be creative when you change your layout plan after building the mountain and gluing/painting the portals...) This will have a flashing light and ghost sounds (hopefully) when all said and done...


Here's a log train ready to roll...


"Annie" or "Claribelle" looking out of the tunnel...


The drawbridge...


Last weeks shot of the control panel. I added 10 SPDT switches yesterday...


We're coming along...

Hopper,

I like the idea of ghost sounds coming from the abandon mine. That is such a good idea!. I think I am going to steal it when I finally get to do my layout :)

Mabey you could do like the glow of a lantern coming from a portal too.

Thanks for the feedback. I still have a few sidings to add, but it is coming along nicely. You know, I have to fight the urge to go bigger. (My wife helps quite significantly in that fight!)

daniels, I was going to put a light in there that would flash as trains passed through in the tunnel above. A nice glowing light (lantern) might be nicer touch...

The roof on the front of my shed started coming off after a windstorm



So I poured concrete on the roof and now all is copacetic



Sunday was a halcyon day. Birds chirping, frogs splashing around…



and the hound on the prowl. But look, BB the beagle is trespassing on the railroad right of way (in far distance). Danger. Danger



BB found that the tracks make a nice pathway to the rabbit convention



But what is that we hear? A train rounding the bend!



BB turns around just in time to see the fast train approaching and she jumps out of the way of the looming train



happy to once again resume her hunt for rabbits
