Flashwave howmus: George and Tom, thanks! Ah, Tom, I think the stall would be about 60' too short for your Yellowstone..... So, the tender then. How, where'd you find the tools from? I've got a Diesel shop I'm adopting on the NWR

Yep, you could just about get the tender inside..... It is made for a Shay or Heisler, but will now house a little 0-6-0T loco for switching cars at the quarry.
Many of the tools come with the Scale Structures Kits. They also have some packs of tools. Others came from Dirango Press, GCLaser, and others. Oil barrels and such are from JL Miniatures.

Okay, one more to wrap up my weekend. This is my MTH "Coast Daylight", doubleheaded with my Balboa GS-4 and my Genesis MT-4. What the Coast Daylight is doing in the Northern Mines area of the Sierra Nevada is ANYONE'S guess, but I think it's one Very Nifty train.
It's also proof that I've got to finishing scenicking North San Juan Ridge someday.

Dear Penn Central
You're doing a masterful job with your layout. As someone who's never built a layout, the image of the foam inspires me to get started.
Thanks for sharing.

Dear Larry
That's the most precise cardboard lattice work I've ever seen. What a beautiful layout you have going!

I resurrected a bunch of old Trix automobiles to load my new Micro Trains racks... You guys modeling modern enclosed racks are missing out on all the fun! Lee

Thanks Motley, Phoebe and Jaddie for the compliments.
Suggestion noted - yes, that is caulk holding the track down. White is cheaper than clear; besides, once it has ballast, no one will see it. I had it thinner, the track came loose in some spots. So I applied it a little thicker, but I can still see brown through it.. I'm using Painter's Acrylic Latex Caulk.

This is DAP clear caulk. When the image was created it had been about 8 hours since it was applied. The track is held firmly.
It costs less that $3 for a 10 fluid ounce tube which fits any standard caulk gun. That is enough to lay a hundred feet of track.

Looks pretty good. The latex caulk I use is by DAP. I have had weight on my track for over 24 hrs and it still pops loose in some places (including flat turnouts), so I guess I need to figure it out.
I see sectional pieces in the pics, do you use sectional pieces on your entire layout or do you use flex track?
I use flex most of the time. The yard area in the photograph has an area where I used two pieces of 22r sectional separated by a 9" straight sectional to make parallel S turns. It was just easier to keep the shallow curve exactly the right radius in that location.
