Great pictures guys.  I see we have some posters from the other forum.  Welcome aboard.

Chuck, Maybe you should change your location to BridgeVille.

Just a couple of pics here.

Latest motive power addition.  Lehigh & New England Beep.

Another view.

John, unfortunately, I am unable see any of your photos.  Are you using brand X for your photo sharing?  Smile [:)]

Chuck, that is one big bridge.

They must have stopped sharing!  Will have to regroup.

Can everyone see them now?  Don't know what happened with the other host, they showed up at first then vanished.

Ok guys - Give me a break. This is the first time in over 3 years that I didn't start this at a resonable time. I was called out of town again on Friday and just got back home at 5:30pm today. And that was after being out of town all week. I did try to post this moring from the Hotel, but thier computor was having problems. It may have been the big ice storm up there.

IT's good to be back home.

Great pics all!

That is a fantastic picture.  My wife and I had a good laugh at it.

Tom, Glad you got home safe in the nasty driving weather.

Buckeye, Nice pics.  Where did you get the black & white hogs.  Never saw them in O gauge.

Guess I will just have to stick with Shutterfly.

I got the 2" foam installed this afternoon.  I still have to do the facia board, but it's coming along.  Next step is major cleanup.

Jim.....That's a great idea. I've got an old Budd car, that I could convert into a Diner. " Fat's Place ". I like that.

Question, where did you get your 2 inch styrofoam?  I checked my local Lowes and they only carry 3/4".  I'm going to build my 4x8 layout this way and instead of the 3/4" that is on the image I want to go with the 2", but I can't find it anywhere.  If you don't mind me asking, how much was it per sheet?  Thanks
