Tom beat me again, but I have not posted my double headed coal drag chasing up the pheasants on my hunting scene.

I'll go with what is ever up next by the last poster.

I'll bite, to try to get myself back into this great hobby. My layout is coming along but I need to buy paint to airbrush weather the tracks before I start scenery...so I've been in a bit of a slump what with the long hours I'm working and uninspiring bare layout! I'm hoping once I start scenery I'll get back into it all!

This is a scene from Enfield, NH, on my previous layout, the White River Southern. The street running is at right where local LE-2 is switching Agrawal Paper, accessed by a short section of street running. The train at left is intermodal hotshot MONA (Montreal-Nashua, NH) taking Main 1 around the local.

EDIT: I don't know why the photo is so huge...been a while since I posted one.

Next: Show me some AUTUMN COLORS.

Sawyer,

Hey, I also wanted to say great job on your river bed! I know that when 'I' finish one & like it, witout the poured water, that is is pretty good. I hope you will 'feel' that too. It looks like an excellent foundation to your scene!

As for "Street Running" I was hoping to involve modelers that do cable cars, trolleys, & even freight. If I had my wish I'd be able to make a layout with a trolley to various points of intrest in my little scale town. I also asked for 'Street Running' cuz, I have not seen very much participation from, or in that aspect here, so I am reaching out & hopefully getting a welcome from those groups. I think any railroading is & can be excellent & I don't care what aspect, or genre it comes from, I welcome it, all of it. I enjoy all of it too.  WHen I see something neat, I usually walk away with a; (Geez, I wish I had THAT!)  additude..

Just my thoughts & opinions, I hope I didn't offend anyone..

I reply to say I'm loving this thread and I love street running-always wanted to include it, never knew how to make the entrance/exit.
