My Space

[Postwar Paul]

Thank you!!

I've got so many ideas floating around...

Contemplating my next move...

I always love looking at any, and all layouts, regardless of scale, or gauge. Many great ideas out there, maybe some I will try to adapt to my humble 8x8 layout !!

 I get inspired looking at others work, makes me want to try !

Isn't that what it's all about ?

I have more scenery built and primered, for the canyon entrance

I moved my semaphore up on a platform

The Lionel track will duck into a tunnel, and hidden trackage, popping out on my " bridge "

[Postwar Paul]

Like so...

What is striking when you go overseas, the complete lack of OSHA. If you fall off the cliff, that's your dumb mistake...

Or logs or gravel dump cars.

One of the fun things about the Toy Train hobby is the operating cars. I'm running a train of them.

[Postwar Paul]

I moved my UCS strip from the original location, which would be inside the tunnel now

[Postwar Paul]

I want to see, and enjoy my operating cars. Not only will this location need a bridge, but some receptacle for jettisoned material...

[Postwar Paul]

Drop depth charges !!!

 

I don't have the correct barrels, but chucking these dowels is a blast !!!

[Postwar Paul]

Got excited, and forgot to caption the last shot !!

The dump cars are my favorites!!

Want to get a log dump car next !!

[Penny Trains]

Yeah.  That's one of the things that bugs me about having a small layout space, there's only room for one extremely short siding for the milk car and platform.  All the other open spaces on my wonky ovoid are either out of sight or, like you had, inside a tunnel.    Oh well!  One of these days I'll get the S gauge it's own board and then I can have operating cars besides the kind where a man opens a door.

I guess you can " flip the coin" and look at it this way :

a small layout space forces discipline! Tough choices, and priorities...
