Well I've been working on this layout since shortly taking down the last layout but haven't been able to find an easy way to show pics, but just today was introduced to imgur so away we go. I'm just going to give a tour around the layout for now and then a few of the builds I accomplished.

Thanks Simon
Simon,
You have a great-looking layout! Your work is impressive.
Thanks for sharing the photos. It can inspire some of us newer modelers to keep working.
I hope you would consider posting some of your work on the Weekend Photo Fun thread that starts each Friday.
Thanks!

Thanks Simon, haven't been much involved but now that I know how to post pics I will.
Sorry! I posted the wrong name on my post.
My excuse is I'm old and stupid.
Thanks for the great photos of your excellent layout!
York1 Lynn Sorry! I posted the wrong name on my post. My excuse is I'm old and stupid. Thanks for the great photos of your excellent layout!
hey I thought that was my excuse, nice to know I'm not alone.
What a fun layout. The amount of detail added is beyond impressive. Hard to tell if I'm looking at a model or reality!
There should be a forum just for US!
Thanks guys for the nice comments.
Lynn,
I would love to see pictures of your layout shared in Weekend Photo Fun and/or Show Me Something.

Thanks guys for the kind comments. I'm happy that I'm able to start posting photos here again. I often run into roadblocks and now can ask for input with pics.
I can only imagine how many loving, careful, hours went into all of that. At least 1500. Fantastic, and I offer my congratulations.
Thankyou Selector, one thing I learned when you have a deep layout is you must finish the very back before moving forward, so once you get moving on it it moves along pretty good.
This is a kit I just completed , it's a Fsm IM Dunn .
Working in the room on the right of the track plan, with the Walthers 90 ' turntable removed I proceeded to paint the backdrop and build some small hills , build the terrain up and plant the trees. I still need to build the 2 stall engine house and the wood coal tower.
Here's a Fsm Baileys Produce I built in 2018

Absolutely stunning. I love it.
Well done.

To the world you are someone. To someone you are the world
I cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought
Thanks David
Here's a Sierra West Woodcutters Shack to go to a permanent area of the layout.
I've been struggling with posting photos, can't remember how I posted the previous photos to show the photo rather than a redirect link to the photo , so, I'm going to try Flickr and see how that works. This is the Fsm Dexters Dead End I've been working on .
Good afternoon
Very impressive modeling Lynn. Love the scenery, rock cliffs and the old weathered character of your building structures.

Thanks TF it's a never ending adventure.
Lynn, your painted backgrounds are as realistic as the modelled portions of your layout...absolutely fabulous!
Lynn, very nice work, most impressive. If you can figure out how, could you post a track plan?
