Phantom Curve
I'm trying to incorporate a little of everywhere I've ever been...
Here's the " bridge" I created for the canyon end
This will be your view from the transformer station
Everything primered, ready to paint
I like it. Not being able to see everything at all times lends an aire of mystery and danger to the whole layout.
Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
Well, Thank You!
I'm really enjoying the scenery aspect of this. But the problem is : once you start, all the other spots that lack scenery really stand out. That's why I don't light any of my buildings : once you light one.... yep, ya' gotta do 'em all !!!
But I realized the train room is a great place to sit and relax, even if the trains aren't running.
It's the ambience... I'm having fun!!!
Time to take a break
and run some trains...
What may, at first glance, appears to be a peaceful and serene model train scene
hides a dark secret...
or two...
And although many trains pass this way each day....
most most people fail to notice...
Standing in the hollows, and deep recesses of the rock formations...
the Wicked Witch of the west !
but, that's not all...
But, there is another, and much more sinister being lurking in the shadows...
Erik !!
The Phantom of the Opera !!!
Yes, that's right !!
The real " Phantom Curve "!!!
Love it!
