Lee is that a paper mill complex in one photo, could you give a diagram of your layout. Great idea, good work. Kevin

Bapou,
I had a pink prairie for a couple of years until someone here on the forum "encouraged" me to get off my duff and paint it. It was a little more challenging because I had already laid track down - albeit temporarily - but it was definitely worth the time and effort once it was finally completed. Now I need to scenic it. But there are a few other things that need to be done before I can do that.
So, go ahead, Bapou, and show us your layout so far. I'm going to wait and post a more current picture of mine later this evening.

Here's the best panorama I can get --- it's about 70%

Mr. B, now I finally understand how you've got your subway set up. Wouldn't have figured it out without your pics. Maybe this is what we've been missing - a place to post overall in progress photos that takes two minutes to snap instead of setting up scenes like we do for WPF. I like both concepts.
Perry, I'd love to see an overall shot of your layout, including the dinosaur playground.
Stein, I like your track plan and it looks like you're doing a good job of transferring it tot he layout. You're sure doing more planning than I did.
So, c'mon folks. I suspect the Pink Praries and Plywood Centrals far exceed the completely sceniced shots we see in MR. I think it will be a real ball watching our layouts progress - kind of like watching a kid grow up.
Not a huge empire here - about 6 feet long, 20 inches wide. And obviously in an early state of construction. The apparent continuation through the far wall is just a mirror.
Here is the track plan:

Nice pictures everyone...
Here's two...

No, you've got to take those pink desert pics! It's great to see where you've been.
Still a bit of pink foam showing in these pictures. I had a ladder out to change the battery in the smoke alarm, so I took this one:
Same layout, different angle. Above the control panels you can see where the subway station peeks out beneath the street.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Someone - Drat, I don't remember who - had a great suggestion that we post some aerial views of our layouts so we can have a better overall picture of the work being done instead just the detail shots we post in WPF. I thought I'd start it out so here's mine, warts and all. Lots of work still to be done but it's getting there. I have a dinky layout so it's not hard to get it all in a few pics.
The layout looking north:
Looking South:
Looking at about the midpoint of the layout:
A closer look south:
Downtown, on the north end of the layout:
So that's it for me. Let's see what the rest your layouts looks like. Trust me, they can't be any worse than mine.
