Greetings,
With the cold weather hanging on up here in Ontario, I've managed to make some progress on my room-sized switching layout, which models modern CP operations where I live in West Toronto.
Anyone interested can click here for the latest update, which includes plenty of photos of progress on a pond scene, adding roads and installing fascia.
I would add a few photos here, but can't figure out how to do it in this blog tool! Someone explained it to me once, but I can't remember how it's done. I think this forum is excellent but Model Railroader should really make photo uploads easier!
Questions and comments on my layout are welcome.
Nice work, making some good progress. I really like your throttle pockets. I made something similar, but not nearly so eye-pleasing.
You do need to host images off-site somewhere and link to them, but you already have yours hosted due to your website, maybe just need to get it to interface them with the forum properly? The below link should help with that.
As for pics, depends a lot on what you're using, as it's not really intuitive. There was a thread in the last few days that goes over much of it. http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/228367.aspx

Nice progress on the layout. Will look forward to future updates. The track plan is interesting also. Kind of similar to a plan I'm working on now. Good luck to you...
