Hi Randy

 

Jesus – if that isn’t one remarkable arrangement !

Sure took some formidable work –

Btw , your trackage looks like it’s in better shape

than it was on the real thing in those days , mostly …

Congratulations !

 

Regards

thanks J

I think the ballast is to light & the trackage too clean!

Beautiful work Randy!  Are your buildings scratch built?

Hey Rex,

yes everything is scratch built, less some windows & doors,

thats the beauty of large scale, you can cut all your own wood products,

I even made my own shakes for the roofs,

I use red cedar
