These are the only 3 pictures I have of my 2005 Christmas layout for now.

A winter scene on the plateau area.

I took the 2 pictures of the bus because my brother just gave it to me as a gift. THere's some very personal history behind why we both flash back memories looking at it! I took them to show my brother that I gave the bus a special spot on the layout.

And don't forget, as Tom likes to remind us (thanks Tom!) - click on the picture to enlarge it.

Wow Tom!!! That is a beauty. It looks scale. And those power poles! It looks like miniature bolts holding the cross-arms. Are you becoming a rivit counter?

Great pictures everyone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Frank53,

It looks even scarier with the train blurred from high speed. Are you going to line the floor with pillows?

pbjwilson,

I always enjoy seeing your carpet railroad. The balloon launcher looks like serious fun. I have never seen one before.

LOL - Wayne, I don't think we have to worry about me becoming a 'rivit counter'. The engine is an MTH Railking from arount 2000.

The poles are scale and look really neat. [8D]

Wow! Today I attended a small show in Columbus and met David Baran, Nitro Boy on the forum and purchased several of his hand built wooden telegraph poles like Tom did when Dave was selling them up north. Unbelievable quality! The photos tell the story. What an improvement over the plastics. My artist daughter gave them a two thumbs up tonight when she saw them.

You asked, we answered.
So you got an answer you didn't like.
I suggest you don't ask if you don't want answers.

Colin, lesson well learned. Things might make you mad but wait a few and then post if necessary. Usually come out better. I see some jerks post on here but I let some things slide so "we" don't get the reputation of being a bunch of jerks like another forum or two. Also, you need to take the "heat", laugh and then give some back at the right time. This is friends joking and not real "war".

I'll have some cool photos by next week when tracks start going down outside.

In meantime, I discovered a neat spiking tool that's probably better than the spiking tool sold by micromark.

It's a Stanley Max Grip with several cool features (pictured below):

Great rubber grip

Jaws are tilted for easier handling

Grip teeth go crosswise so that there's a perfect groove to hold the spike or homemade spike from staples so it won't move fore or back or left or right.

Second photo is how I built some of my doors, using a template. I'll have all photos in about a week.
