Great job Jon.   The last one especially looks so real, at first I thought it was prototype.   Awesome.

Ditto from me Jon. It wasn't until I spotted the "Glad Hand" hanging down under the front coupler that I realized that it was your great eye for detail that had got me. But that was after I had been looking at the detail on the wooden bridge.

Excellent work.Thumbs UpThumbs Up

Great start to the weekend fun!

Ever since I built my farm area, my cows have wandered off on their own.  Since they're not glued down yet, my wife likes to place them around the layout to see if I notice.  It's actually kind of funny to see what she comes up with.   Well, I came home yesterday to find that one of them had wandered over to where the ladies are doing laundry!   I have to say, this one cracked me up.

I'll bet your wife would appreciate my horse running off with the cowboy's pants, too.

Amazing modelling work and photography. Looking at this pic, it was probably the longest I've looked at a photo to work out whether it was real or not. Detail is incredible.

 

I don't currently have a layout myself, but here's a few photos I took of a local N Scale club layout.

 

 

 

 

And one shot from a nice HO layout that I took a long time ago.
