It has been more than a day, and no Amtrak, so lets try for an NYC or PRR passenger train

Two brown (boxcar red sides, red ends) cabooses. MEC pre-1955 scheme

Show me a red diesel locomotive

 

It has been a day without a red diesel locomotive, and we have fallen to page two.  Let's keep the thread going by expanding the request to a diesel locomotive of any color.

The judges say "Morency Orange" is OK with them Big Smile or is that CN orange #11?

Yes. This is "Morency Orange" (CN orange #10).

The color appears more red on this photo. I should have use a better one.

You have demonstrated the ability to create a good layout but I have to offer one critisim and I hope not to offend.

Some of us modlers install so much track it is described as a spaghetti bowl, but in your case imo you have gone in the opposite direction. You really need to think about adding more track.

Good luck and I mean well.

Let's stick with something new

Bob

Here are some tracks.  But the scene is in Plywood City, where the roadbed is cork, not ballasted, and the ties are only glued, not spikes, with huge latex caulk guns.  Not sure whether the lack of finishing is due to budget constraints or the lack of motivation of the tracklaying crew:

Show me a finished scene including trackage.
