I took a few photos but, again, anyone willing to PM on my depth of field issue is most welcome to do so.

Look's good to my eye's !

BTW: You pack a lot of "punch" into a 4X8 layout. I'm impressed !  Selective compression can be hard to figure out ( what should I model... what should I leave out..)   

I hope I can pull it off as well as you did, when the time come's.

Lots of neat work, hoping Rick's wife came through the procedure A-OK.

Been running some trains as therapy.

The telephone shack in the middle of this scene likely looks familiar to many. It's an old Atlas kit I built about 50 years ago.

The layout is about 5-1/2 × 9-1/2.  That provided for typically 26" curves, plus a moderate 2.4% grade to the upper curve at one end.  Still tight as I chose to squeeze in a lot in that space.

Happy Easter to all the WPF fans!

Well I finally sat down and decided to actually hook up the refinery lights. I had installed lights in about 60% of the structures but had to do the entire back row. The whole refinery has north of 175 LED's.

Almost all the LED's are 0603 which are 1.6mm x 0.8mm in size. It was a good place to use up the 1000 piece roll I bought of cool white. They don't look so good in locomotives but make great industrial lighting. 

I have on more building which needs lights installed and that is the cooling tower. It will have 11 LEDs installed on it. 

All buildings have a single connector on them which hooks up to a card underneath that controls the lighting. I haven't done anything special effect wise yet but it gives me the option.

@ Renegade1c - Quite a daunting task, but it sure paid huge dividends, that scene is awesome! I also like how you opened up that warehouse to show the interior details and rack storage.

Great looking refinery!  That would take up my entire layout!

Garsh, lotsa great stuff gents and I love it!!  Here is my contribution; an AHM 40' plug door (CRIP never had 'em) that I modified for paper service on my RR, Wishram, Oregon & Western.

I haven't got much done on the layout this past week or weekend, but I thought I'd share a photo of my robotics team's 3D printer cranking out face shields for medical workers. Another team member was running it for a couple weeks, now I have it. Maybe I could sneak in a couple RR prints...
