Our layouts...

I just recently finished a new layout that I'd been planning to build for a couple of years. I'm space poor, so I had to use the space available. Anyway, it's 3 X 6 and N scale. It's on a nice table, has two tracks with the inner track being a figure eight and the outer track an oval. Both tracks run through a mountain at the left end of the layout. In the middle of the layout is your typical wide spot in the road community with all the staple bulidings and businesses. The layout itself represents any of a number of simi desert western states including California, Nevada, Arizona and so forth. I purposely built everything so that I can change it around if I get tired of looking at it, or if I need to change from one era to another. By moving around a few structures and changing out a few automobiles, I can go from the 1930s to the 1950s to now a days depending on what trains I feel like running at the time. So let's here about yours...
