First ever layout photo

[eng22]

I have been a railfan/modeler since January of this year. With all of your help and advice, I have finished a static display of an Ann Arbor S-3 and some AA rolling stock a well. I look forward to building a model railway when time/space limitations permit.

Thanks-Craig

It looks really neat Craig, and nice detail on the stripes of the locomotive. Just curious, what scale is it?

If you live near Michigan. You should come visit the MR clubs layout. We have some info on ARR. On the second floor of them museum ther is a room dedicated to ARR and GT. The guys that are in there know or even worked for GT and/or ARR

Sorry, I forgot the vital stats:
HO Scale
Size- 4'X14"
Atlas Code 83 flex track-painted and weathered
Woodland scenics medium gray ballast
Woodland scenics trees-the kind you make by hand
Cork road bed
Four layers of one inch blue foam
The S-3 is P2K
The building in the background is a DPM-A dry goods store

What did I miss?

Wow! Very nice work . What did you use for your grass/groundcover?

Thanks

Thanks for the Wow! I used Woodland Scenic ground cover, foam, clump foilage, and the green fuzzy stuff by WS, I do not remeber what it is called! I'm trying to take some more pictures to show my culvert detail, but I'm no photographer.

that's amazing for a first try! I can only wish my first one had come out like that! Great job, time to start another!

Yeah, that is pretty good for a first try.

If my work had looked like that after only 4 months in the hobby I would have been dancing a jig in the layout room.

Nice work! You're going to be doing fabulous work after a few years in the hobby with a start like this!

(Here's what my work looks like after 37 years (!) in the hobby ...)
