Red Horse,
Those are Koshari (sacred clowns), early in the day, preparing for the festival of San Geronimo.
By, the way, we own a farm in Conway ... perhaps we can arrange a visit some time ...

Jag 193,
Is that a Heyoka climbing the ladder on the roof?
Very nice, very nice!
Here's one from the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry
I would have loved to get a closer shot of the trains in that section, but all the closer shots don't really give any sense of scale for the buildings or surrounding scenery.
This one was taken from the floor above, I think this shot encompasses roughly 1/8 to 1/6 or so of the layout.

Red Horse-
Don't short change your-self. Your work just keeps getting better. That scene is neat. I like those ladders- where did you get them?
Keep up the good work!
Ok, here goes, Although I don't think I've yet to create my favorite scene I will post a few pics of one of my favorite under construction scenes.
This is a box car being fitted as an Army Office.
Workers delivering cement slabs to the job site.
A close up.
Hey, it's not the best work you will find at Trains.com but my skills will improve over time.
Thanks !
Remember its your railroad

I could spend months looking at all these, what a talented group of people I've discovered here and most who are very tolerant of beginners, I've tried a few other Hobby sites and was basically told to come back when I get the basics down...Snobs!!!
I'll never go looking at MSN groups for this hobby again, one place kept pushing me to post pics of my progress and when I did they deleted them and sent me an email telling me that I should research this hobby more before "attempting" to play with the big boys....are you kidding?

Peter,
That is awesome pic of your layout details, very cool, is there a place where I can see more pics of your layout on the web?
thanks for posting that, it really captured my attention.
You have a great eye for detail, and your lumber mill is so realistic that I can almost smell the sawdust in the air.
Anxious to see more of your layout,

I guess I'll post one of mine... I still need to paint the track...this isn't my favorite place to railfan on the layout, but it's my favorite photo for a while....
Here's a little off track action on my N scale layout.
A farmer shoots the bull after having loaded his pickup bed full of it.

Works for me
Sorry to be slow in responding with TT information. If you want to see some TT scale layouts, go to www.ttscale.com, enter the site, and select Layouts (on the left). Mine is Possum Vally Short Line.
The decline of TT is said to have come about by N scale coming in with better models using modern manufacturing techniques at the time TT was starting to grow. However, there are still a few supporters around that think TT is the ideal size.
Elmer.
The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.
(Modeling Freelance, Eastern US, HO scale, in 1962, with NCE DCC for locomotive control and a stand alone LocoNet for block detection and signals.) http://waynes-trains.com/ at home, and N scale at the Club.

Guys,
I change my mind on my favorite scene. I think I like this one better.
So what if it is the same scene.
Your modeling and scenery look great, but the lighting seems to take it to a new level. Can you tell us how the scene was lit?
Only the best kind of lighting: Sunlight. I hope there is a way that it can be duplicated inside.
