[N.H. Matt]

hello everyone. This weeks project was the stars hollow town square

[jeffrey-wimberly]

In keeping with the 'What Layout' thread here are some shots from my layout.

One of my Atlas interlocking towers. I have three of these on the layout.

The Martin home. The structure conceals a speaker for the MRC sound system.

Freshly ballasted track to one of the engine houses. The loco is an Athearn AC4400.

This is at the far end of the layout, at the south turn.

Here's a shot of the passing siding and part of the interchange with the inner loop.

The rusted steamer at the south end engine house.

The front of the south end engine house.

A look up the mainline to the north end.

And down to the south end.

A small station at the northwest spur.

A look northwest from the south engine house.

An undertrack culvert at the far southeast turn.

Part of the loading/unloading area of Midtown Consolidators.

The northeast turn from the top of the north engine house.

Ace Hardware and Jim's Barber Shop.

A look inside the south engine house.

A night shot of the north end industrial area.

Mr Smith's service station.

At least we know this cars headlights work.

The east side lumber warehouse.

The floodlights at the south engine house.

The east and west turns.

Anybody for a little game of baseball?

That's all for now.

Well Packers whatyou going to do switch over or stay? 

 

Me, I am finishing up a ABOX.  I have to finish rusting the roof, and I hope to get some shots on here later today.  AND then the casino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both. I already pulled for three teams (Packers, saints, and Chargers), and the Jets are all right. So it ranks:

1. Packers

2. Saints

3. Jets

4. Chargers

Still mainly a Pack fan though.

First, the most bizarre thing ever:

I got creative w/ the camera, so here's a shot of my GP30:

and here's my progress on the layouts:

Added paper towels for moubntains (not soaked in hydrocal, but in plain water, we'll see how it all works out).

I've moved the loco servicing to a single long track (it only services 2 locos).

(sorry it's blurry)

Pics of the paper towels painted, Aiken locomotive Works, and my NW GP35 soon.

Great pictures.

I participated in a FREMO meeting at Heinsberg. It was a lot of fun and we had a few op sessions. Look at the pictures.     

Here's one pic at made at the meeting from my station "Naumburg".

HI guys,

    This weekend, I would like to propose that each and every one take pictures of their layouts from the point you enter the room to the point you leave the room. There is a thread on here wanting everyone to pick their "favorite model railroad" and in all fairness everyone should get exposure before posting to the thread. As soon as i get home from work i'll start a pictorial of my layout from starting point to ending point.  I don't have a snowball's chance in H E double hockey sticks of being a favorite, but at least the entire layout will be exposed on here before judgement is made on a favorite model railroad....chuck

Hi All: I couldn't wait for WPF this week. The Pennsylvania Line now has passenger service, thanks to a Christmas gift cert. from my younger daughter and Walther's Aug. sale.  The passengers at Stoney Creek have been waiting a long time for the train to show up!
