Hey, how cool is that? I'm jealous, I want to be a sysadmin for company close to a yard, too :)

Zipping it, now why didn't I think of that for my layout, if I could just get a higher compression ratio for the space I'm using... That was great, thanks for the geek chuckle
In all seriousness though, excellent work, your layout looks fantastic.

Hey, thanks for the kind words dude! I started planning this layout in June 2006, construction started in December 2006.
I zipped it, it uses only few TeraBytes of my basement :)

Thanks! Far from being comparable to the MTW super works, but I am pretty happy with them. I have some more weathered cars coming, so stay tuned!

Last friday night I held the very first op session on my layout. The purpose of this session was to test the layout, but we ended up having a lot of fun!
Below is a shot, and here is the rest of the op session report:
