 I first test fit everything before moving the layout up. These are pics from Thursday.

 

 

I moved my layout finally up to my room. The outer loop is up and running! Pics coming soon!

 

 

I picked up 3 complete (track and controller) RCS sections at Sommerfields for only 12 bucks.

This was on the UP employee homepage..really liked it

These are heading into St. Louis from East St. Louis

The Baltimore, Ohio and Wabash Railroad has been very busy hauling passengers home for the Holidays. 

There has been night and day traffic.

The single line track can hardly handle the traffic.

@yallaen, those tracks are not prototyppical, they have only 2 instead of 3..Big Smile [:D]

At my layout the canyon is in the building phase..

First plastering the whole bunch..

Then give it a coating with sand and wall paint mixture for the finish..

And when that has dried..

the result is a complete canyon with a great look.. All I need now are a few weeds and cactus plants to finish the desert..

Merry christmass all!!

Here is an early Christmas present I got today.....

A friend of the family works for Union Pacific, so she sent me the Hallmark Lionel Veranda Turbine locomotive ornament.... If any of you have never seen these items, they are incredibly detailed.... the trucks move, the wheels move, there are Lionel logos on the bottom like a real Lionel engine would have, and they are made of metal as well, so they are very durable too....

 

Have a very Merry Christmas filled with as much happiness and joy as you can ever imagine!

Excuse us for a second, while I bring Jim, a fellow Buckeye up to speed.

Well thanks!

I tried to find Roger's Corners on the map, but no success.  I guess i can't be more than 3 hours from anyone though, since I'm in the middle of the state now.

I can't believe you have never hear of Roger's Corners, Ohio.  Chuck, Chief and Greg have all found their way to the Corners'.

I hope I'm not too late...

Santa brought this for the little one!  Trains sounds, working headlight turns on as it runs thru the tunnel, it even stops at the station, and re-starts! We added a few Thomas items as well.
