What happens if they hit the ball on the tracks?
That is what the "Railroad Property. NO Trespassing" signs are for!! If that doesn't scare the golfers off, it is play at your own risk.

This is my first time ever building a layout. So far I've been listening to everyone here and taking their advise. I've put up a few pictures of the cork roadbed I've been laying in the staging area. This past week I've been working on laying my first turnouts, tortoise machines, ground throws and flex track. Here are a few pictures.

Seriously, that's nice work.

Jarrell & Chuck, I've had a temporary 5'x10' Atlas True Track layout to test my locos but have never built a room size layout using cork roadbed, flex track, custom line turnouts with either ground thows or tortoise machines. Then fastening it all with white glue and or caulk.
It's a little scary but listening to everyone here, if I mess up all I have to do is take it up and start over.
So far I've found making the turnouts with the cork road bed to be the most challenging. The first ones were a little sloppy so I filled in the little open spaces with joint compound. The ones done where the tortoise machines are went a lot better.
Jarrell, That's a great picture of the Southern.

I have some work done to my GP30s, I'm just waiting for a part to come in.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
Here's something for the CSX fans

Very Cool...

I saw the video. Its like Christmas all over again . You'll have to slow those flashing lights down a little bit before I have a seizure!
There is a hobby shop in Americus, Ga. that has a set of them. I believe the name is freetimehobbies.com I picked these up at the little train show in Albany, Ga. when this particular hobby shop had a display there.

You're giving Jeffery a run for his money there on that layout
Great work so far.
I've been doing some more work on my layout lighting. Here's a couple of progress shots.
Now Bill, it isn't nice to try and fool us like that...

Chip, that picture is actually 5 shots in all, shooting from left to right and then assembled into one photo. Took some time but it came out pretty good.
Thanks,

You are lying! - If everyone built their first layout to your standards the world of 4x8 playwood layouts with snap track would end. Great work.

Thank you sir! :)
Brian, I think you've 'bout convinced me to buy an airbrush..

Just some quick passes with the airbrush - a white dusting around the bogies and lower body, a light coat of boxcar red to dull down the lettering a bit (and calm down any excess of white), and some black here and there, and on the roof. Took at total of about 30 minutes to do 12 cars, and it helps to make them much more realistic-looking with very little effort.Before:After:Brian
