Like pcarrell I didn't know there was a forum just for test photos. I have only used the MR forums. I tried to post a picture about a month ago and it wouldn't work because I was using Webshots. I started an account with Photobucket and gave it a try and it works.
As for the questions about the photo. This is a temporary track that I set up to test new trains and run a few when I got tired of building the new rec-room.
The table is 10-1/2' x 5'. I never intended to scenic it since it was a temporary layout.
The track plan is from the Atlas True Track booklet. On their site it is #10046TT. I added the outter most oval so I could run three trains at once.
I finished my new rec-room this past weekend. I'm now moving furniture in. I hope to have the older rec-room emptied, painted and cleaned up within the next couple of weeks so I can start construction on the new layout.
I wanted to put pictures on the site of the progress as I begin construction of the layout. My reason for doing a test photo.

That's a lot of track in that small space you have there. Doesn't leave a whole lot of room for scenery, but I bet the operation can last a few hours at least.

Well...This may be true...But at least this picture is relative to the Model Railroader topic and not something out in left field.

I didn't know that, and I've been around a while. I never go to the page that lists all the different forums though. I only go to the Model Railroader Magazine forums page.
