An impatient driver foolishly goes around the gates and a Conrail caboose as a freight train clears the crossing.

Show me another grade crossing.

I painted and decaled this one probably twelve years ago, but still haven't had the time add the details, install a decoder, and to paint and apply the handrails.

This one, and her three sisters, are waiting for me to get started on my switching layout this winter. They're also waiting for more sisters, since I've finally decided on a supplier for the next run of the decals.

Let's see another old EMD.

Original grade crossing at one end of my old layout.

New highway overpass (from opposite direction) that I put in, replacing the crossing about 8 years later shortly before I moved out of my parents' house and the layout was torn down.

Show me another before and after.

This an "L" shaped 12' by 13' On3 switching/test layout beneath my HO layout. The plan is for the narrow gauge to replace the HO at some point.

Show me an area of your layout that you have given a makeover.

Ambulance taking crew from caboose of wrecked freight on my old layout.

Basically, one car derailed on the train, and with my camera nearby, I staged the "crash" just for pics.

Show me another scene temporarily staged.

It's been a couple of days waiting on this one, let's change it.

Show me something on your layout that is made of 'metal' and 'wood' other than track.
