 Mike, big thumb up. How big is the layout?

 Don't think the people fishing are going to have any luck with the swimmers.

Thanks for the response, ART, I tried the sawdust on the second truck, and didn't like the effect, it turned out lumpy The only sawdust I have is real fine so I went with very fine sand, almost dust. I stil am not real happy with the color and will keep trying.      Thanks, as always.           Mike

Great, GREAT pics. Cool trucks, nice lake. Great perspective on the last pic. Those are great scenes.

Well you knew that I was going to open this one!  Nice photos.  Is that UP freight my through train?  It's been running very late since my layout hasn't been built!
Proud to be DD-2itized! 1:1 scale is too unrealistic. Twins are twice as nice!

Well it is a happy day for the good folks at Cassidy Grain Co. the new truck that has been on order arrived this morning and already it is in service.


While on the other side of the office the workers do not have a chanch to stop and check out the new truck arrival. The boxcar must be unloaded befor quitting time.


Meanwhile, on the other side of town people are enjoying a beautiful day at the beach.


But nothing has changed on the UP, still hauling the freight.


Just thought you might like to see these.  Enjoy.     Mike
