I have completed the track work on my Denver yard. All tracks are now in and wired to the bus. The only thing left to do is to complete the installation of the Walthers 130' turntable which will consist of adding storage tracks and wiring the turntable and bridge power. Eventually I will wire the turntable to control it with a hand held controller.
Good to hear this. Watching a train slide in between occupied tracks in a yard is one of the big thrills for me.

Pictures?

As soon as I get a little farther along and finish painting the the turntable and install the storage tracks, I will post pictures of my Denver yard. Right now there are consturction materials on or near the yard and I do not think these will make for good pictures.

I agree with Kevin. Many of us love seeing the work in progress. Most of us can look past junk and clutter to see the laid track, etc.

If cleanup were a requisite for "good photos" then I have only ever and always posted bad ones. They all have pliers lying athwart the tracks or packets of couplers or screws littered across the yard. I cannot guess how many photos of locomotives or rolling stock I've posted that have a bottle of Elmer's glue towering in the distance. I wonder if I should just give in and make it part of the cityscape. -Matt

Probably true but most of us are messy. Youtube RonsTrainsNThings posted a video on a little cart to hold all your stuff https://youtube.com/shorts/O2M6G-om1fQ?feature=share
One of my projects is to letter a freight car for This Thread Need Pictures Transportation.

Caldreamer, Congrats on completing your yard track work, a cause for celebration along with that nice feeling of accomplishment.
Wish I'd taken more photos during layout construction and related projects, if not for posterity, for fun and future reference.
Btw, Matt, Kong vs Elmer, love it
Regards, Peter
Thank you Peter. I hope to have pictures posted tomorrow. Just finishing the cork roadbed behind the turntable where the storage tracks will be.
Here are the photos of my layout. It is a work in progres.

I finally had time to post the links to my pictures. See my previous post.
UPDATE: The pit now wethered and I am working on weathering the table.
I could see a couple of the pictures. You really have a large layout! Hope to see more of it. Thanks!
I work on my layout each day. I will post additional pictures in the future.
The only links that works is the first one, and the little icon for the engine facility, the other 3 don't work.
I'll wait for your other pictures.

The links work for you because they're in your Google account. The pictures are not publicly accessible.

Yes, we can only see two of the photos. The others give a message of "access denied".
I could see only the photo in the first link, and then the photo associated with the first little box. None of the others are available.
As was stated, the forum will not host photos. They must be uploaded to a photo-sharing site.
We can view some on Google drive, but you have to give out permission for us to access those photos. You may or may not want to do that.
I updated access for all of the pictures to anyone, try to see them now and let me know.
That did it, Caldreamer! Thanks for the efforts.
You have a large layout planned! That should keep you busy for a while. Have fun with your work, and I like looking at your layout.
I have completed the turntable and locomotive storage tracks. Here are three pictures.
