I can't get the whole layout in a photo. Here are two views. Each is at the opposite end of my 64' long train room. The walls have several 90 degree corners. Width of the room, varies from 10' to 16'. The layout follows about 130' of walls. It is double track; point-to-point; with a loop at each end. In each of the pictures there is some layout behind the camera and out of view.
Please show more layout overview photos.

Show me another steam locomotive with eight drivers.
1500. a GP38 (only one with a plow) is the oldest in the HO fleet that is running. but:
That is the oldest on the layout. sits in the locomotive shop. An old 1956 Varney that was my Grandfathers. not DCC equipped. Nor even has a lightbulb in it. even better, spent most of its life in that very building where it sits now. Maybe someday it will be run and pull a train again.. This one does run
Lets see more oldest locos in the fleet
Geez Garry there isn't even a loose drill bit on the work bench. All the post cards are level.

My oldest is 1982, and a pup compared to Garry's locos. Garry, that's really neat having your grandfather's loco, not to mention running the one your father gave you in the 50s. More oldest Locos please. Regards, Peter
Oldest locomotive ....... mine is from the 1920's.
Looking at the top shelf of above my work table, you can barely see a black object. It is the remains of a live steam locomotvie built by my grandfather in the 1920's.
The lower shelves have some old HO from the 1950's.
My oldest HO locomtive is this Tenshodo NYC Hudson. My father brought it to me from Japan when I was a teenager in the 1950's.

SeeYou190 Show me another train near a farming field. -Kevin
Show me another train near a farming field.
From the same layout, a farmers field in the background of a grain elevator being serviced by a GATX MP15. I think the same field in kevins picture, the bridge is behind the elevator. This layout has definitely gotten grayer since the first time I saw it when I was 8. Still a jaw dropping layout. In the background of the layout, New York Central 999, the first train to reach 100mph.
Sorry for the poor picture quality, I screen shotted this off a video in my snapchat album, heres an arerial of the field, both the bridge and grain elevator are visable. This layout truly needs to be seen to belive. This isnt even half of the layout!
Please show me a train modeled after a prototype
EDIT: upon closer inspection, the bridge in kevins photo is above the barn, not behind the elevator
