Bill, you are making fantastic progress.  You appear well on your way toward a monster layout.  Your trackwork and benchwork aren't too shabby, you know? Big Smile [:D]

Art, the first image is truly inspiring...and inspired. Cool [8D]  Amazing.  It will be very good to see your engine facility done in the weeks ahead.  It looks most promising at the moment. Thumbs Up [tup]

Very nice Art! Your general layout feel reminds me of John Allen's work! Great job!Thumbs Up [tup]

I have plenty of new stuff I haven't shared, 2 scratchbuilt industries, and a new section of street running, (after the article on street running in TRAINS and the embedded rails in MR this issue, I couldn't resist.)

Unfortunetly, I can't find the Censored [censored] camera card reader!Banged Head [banghead] They're on the camera now.

Art, that is a substantial expansion!  I was hoping for a few pictures from your progress.  You certainly don't disappoint.  Is your layout in the basement, or your dining room?  Either way, you certainly have an understanding and loving wife!  Great work!

I needed to take a break from building the Mountain so I started the Engine facility. It is a whole new area so I was back to table work. That was fun. Here are some pics of the last work on the mountain for a while and the first steps of the engine facility with the roundhouse and the turntable, just set in there this afternoon.
