Just a shot of my model of the Cape Cod, Mass. bridge and railroad trestle over a gorge with cascading rapids. A Faller roadway with battery operated HO trucks and cars will travel over the bridge, which connects two towns, that are 18ft. apart. Enlarge the picture by clicking on it. Note that when the picture is enlarged, that there appears a set ot three small pictures on the upper right. To view 50 pictures of my layout, you click progressively on the right frame,small picture, and the series of pictures will appear as enlarged pictures, one at a time. Bob Hahn
This is what I was working on this week.
How do you get fire trucks this big:
to fit in a building made for fire trucks this big?
You move the back wall of the building farther back of course.
From the front it all looks normal.

Don't know why I can't Post the picture on the UK New Railways Modellers Forum, after successfully Posting two other pictures on the same thread.

Is that the Chapaquittic bridge? Where is Ted's car?
Hello just a random shot.
Have a good weekend Frank

Is that some slot car track I see there? You're after my own heart, since my little home layout is actually a road and rail. We had a lot of fun racing and railroading while my son was growing up. There was some occasional broken plastic, but it was well worth it.
Looks good.

Freight rolling through Blackwood cut.
ukguy-Your work never ceases to amaze me!
The local runs through Indian Rock Cut. Indian Rock is visible behind the locomotive.
The local switcher passes Lake Watchinson, a summer hangout.
Enjoy!

loatharukguy-Your work never ceases to amaze me!
I'll second that. Absolutely awesome, and inspiring!
DJ, your image is very nice...well done.
Karl, you continue to pop in occasionally with jaw-dropping models. Simply amazing.
In a much more modest effort, a J1d Hudson pulling a local is about to cross the Seneca River Trestle.
New video added! Please check out 21R passing Lake Watchinson in Stop Animation!

Nice, Larry!
Dtommie ,
I didn't know if you knew about it or not but in Southwestern Indiana in the early 1990 's there was a short lived railroad called the Owensville Terminal RR that ran on an old CE&I branch from Owensville Indiana to Poseyville Indiana , If I recall their paint scheme was blue and white , and their logo looks like yours . nice work
HHPATH: Is that the Bourne or Sagamore bridge? It looks like a scaled down model of one of the two (for those not familier with these two bridges; they're twin auto bridges crossing the Cape Cod Canal in Massachusetts. The Bourne Bridge is very near to the Cape Cod Canal Lift Bridge; an ex-New Haven lift bridge currently hosting Mass Coastal service. It's the 2nd largest lift bridge in the US.
Had some time today to work on my roads. Did the shoulders on the blacktop rd. & added patches.

Carknocker1,
Yes, I am aware of that line, but I did not know about it until after I had created my fictional model railroad company. I honestly did not know about their paint scheme/logo--what a coincidence!
Thanks for the info!
Luke, great work on the engine house!

jeffrey-wimberly How do you get fire trucks this big: to fit in a building made for fire trucks this big? From the front it all looks normal.
Jeffery, From past experiences in the real life scale you not only have to move the back wall further back, but you may also have to grind the ramp out for the truck to fit in the building. We had about an inch of clearance over the light bar. Seeing that your engine has a raised cab, that pumper may not be leaving the building.

From the looks of things I would say that your people seriously need to apply for some of that Infrastructure rebuilding money that Uncle Sam will soon be handing out. Great job!
I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

OMG, you've been out here observing our California Freeways !
Neat job. I really like it.
GAPPLEGCouple of quick shots of my Cat Dealer:
Everything looks great....EXCEPT....Do I spy a matchbox fork lift there in the background driving up the ramp
Now we can't have that on an otherwise fine layout specimen. You know how I feel about matchbox cars on HO layouts
Wiking makes a great looking HO forklift...I would check the walthers catalog.
