Whenever Walthers has anything on sale, I order it thru Glen and avoid shipping charges. Not only that, he knocks off a few extra dollars from the already lower price I'd have paid Walthers. Not sure how he's able to do that, but it certainly keeps me going back there!

TJ,
I agree, that's an excellent shop! Whenever Walthers has anything on sale, I order it thru Glen and avoid shipping charges. Not only that, he knocks off a few extra dollars from the already lower price I'd have paid Walthers. Not sure how he's able to do that, but it certainly keeps me going back there!
He has a great shop and great products for sure.
I've just picked up some of my favorite scene, those are mostly my N Scale's pix.

Wow, this particular thread just keeps getting better and better!!
Here's a couple of new ones that I tend to like:
Rio Grande 2-10-2 #1408 on Deer Creek viaduct. As you can see, the scenery's not finished behind it.
My yard scene--Rio Grande 2-10-2 #1400 dumping its ashes. Seems Fred in the gondola is a little anxious to get them out of the ash-pit. Hey, Fred, those ashes are HOT, and that's a WOOD gondola, Doofus!

Dude, your stuff ROCKS!!! You freakin' Europeans... you model our country better than we do!!! haha
Your stuff really reminds me of John Wright and his Federal Street proto87 layout, as well as this other fantastic European layout: The American Railroad Association Ghent - Belgium

This has become my favorite thread by far, the pics posted here are undiscribable, unreal at times and I have to look twice at some of them to make sure that they are indeed scaled down scenes from real life.
I also like the idea that folks update their favorite scenes as they improve their layouts.
Here is an updated one of mine, as you can see I like military trains alot!
I had to do some track work (Right side of pic) and then it was done.
Happy Rails and keep these great pics comming!
heres some of my favorite pics from the American Railroad Association Ghent - Belgium:
I don't know where this next one comes from, I had saved it to my computer a while ago, so if anyone recognizes the layout, help!!! lol
and heres a couple from my under-construction layout. Not too much to look at yet, haha. The first one was me testing out the basic arrangement of my 3% grade to see what I can pull up it. The 2nd shows the final track arrangement for this part of the layout. sheet-o-ply with #8 turnouts what? haha
and heres a little shot that I like to show off (can you guess why? hehe) of the diorama I'm building. Its since been partially scenicked, just haven't gotten any pictures yet

That scenery style leads me to believe that is Selector's layout.

John, you need some trees to frame the impressive view.
I took this photo last month from the edge of the road.

Jeff / Rolleiman Thanks for the comment. The road is plaster over styrene foam base, then ruts and undulations were built up using artists texture paste. Fine ballast was sifted and glued on for loose gravel. DAS clay was used for the roadside soil banks. All painted with acrylics when dry.

I like this scene because it has narrow gauge in the background ( HOn30) and Dual gauge in the foreground. I also like it because it was my first attempt at painting a background scene that I felt comfortable with. ( Mt. Shasta)The three truck standard gauge Shay is a kit bashed Spectrum. Climax No. 4 is a 30 inch gauge Joe Works brass Climax. Everything in the background is 30 inch and scratch built. The motor is in the water tank car.Peter Smith, Memphis
Amazing work!
