I've had my layout since 1997, and of all the pictures I've taken of it this is my all-time favourite. The locomotive (a modified Athearn SW7) and the wooden box car (Accurail) are gone but I still have the weathered steel box car (Athearn BB). If you have a favourite photo of your layout feel free to add to this thread.
Here's mine... Very nice picture, by the way

I've since torn up this alyout, but my all-time favorite pic from it would be this:

IVRWThe photo is very nice, the fall colors especially bring out the photo. What kind of loco is that? Ive never seen something like that.
Thanks!
The loco is a modified GE-70 ton Loco. Here's a pic of the orginal, before the modifications and paint job. I added some fans and stuff to its roof since then.
Nice rebuilt GE 70 tonner! It looks like an older loco that the shop worked on!
Here's mine. The GP9m is a custom painted and detailed Walthers Trainline model, and the Chessie System U23B is an Atlas model. The crossing lights are Walthers Cornerstone.
Nice shots, all. This is one of my favs.
here's my favorite:
and my other favorite
As usual, good shots.
Here is one of my shots. I know, the plant still needs a sign on it .
"Rust, whats not to love?"
Nice photos!!! This is one of my favs from my N scale layout........
Grampys, I do not know which is better, the photo or the modeling?
Here are a few shoots of my new section. NYC Hudson (BLI) heading west while a Y6-b (PCM) is waiting to start it coal drag from K-10 Mine.
Mono Heavy Mike (BLI)
Not a great picture, but shows the cliffs, for now they are 13 inches tall. Heavy Mike dragging one of those new fan gel engines back to the round house.

I hate Rust
Nice shots, Ken. What did you use to make those trees?

That is a cool picture! How did you capture the coal in motion coming out of the shute? (Or is that a "trade secret?")

Well, you have to get up pretty early in the morning to catch those guys at work...
Actually, I took a bit of poly fiber, combed it out, sprayed it flat black, and rolled it in some coal grit. When it dried, I pulled it into a cone shape, then set in place between the tipple and the hopper. A little bit of dramatic lighting helps distract the eye from any apparent flaws... Thanks for the compliment.
Great photos, everyone.
I'd say of mine, I'm pretty fond of this one:

Jim, I knew the Mono Heavy Mike would catch your attention. Most of the trees are super trees, few are store bought.

Well, the Mike goes without saying, doesn't it? But I really admired your Super Trees - that's just the look I aspire to. I've been experimenting with my own home-brew trees using sprigs trimmed from a spirea bush in my yard, WS green polyfiber, and ground foam. The spirea with the dead blooms picked off makes a very nice tree armature, but thus far the end results have been nothing short of abysmal.
One of my many favorites...

I guess my favorite would be this one...
Jarrell
This is one of my favorites, though I'm not real sure why. Maybe it's the glimpse of small town America in the background.
The Cedar Branch & Western--The Hillbilly Line!
Two of my three kitbashed N scale Pennsy engines... The M1 and the H10sb. This is one of my favorite shots.
Modeling the Rio Grande Southern First District circa 1938-1946 in HOn3.
Dave V ......... I really like your choice of pix for your layout. I can nearly smell the smoke for one thing. Also, it's PRR and not PC or CR!

I predict this will change down the road as I start my next layout (starting benchwork VERY soon).
