It's nice to see some realistic two-rail Gilbert Flyer on here for a change.

Great layout!

The backdrop was inspired by an article in CTT June '04 I think.

Thank you for the compliments.  Portsmouth is located right on the Ohio River, smack in the center east west.  Lots of history in Portsmouth, (first night time pro football game played in Spartan Stadium and lots of train/steel related stuff).  

I am buzzed about finally getting some pictures posted.  I don't want to bore / overwhelm with too many too soon, so I will practice moderation, ;)

We after some messing around I got a picture to post.  Now that I know how, I'll be posting more often.  Here is an overview of my layout.
