Time!

Show me any wooden laser cut structure, i.e. Bar Mills for example, on your layout.

Digging into the archives, here's a shot from my first Christmas tree layout several years ago.

'Tis the season for more Christmas themed layouts, let's see them.

 

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

I guess there isn't that many Christmas themed layouts (or at least photos of them) out there.

 

How about an automotive  junkyard?

Time's Up on the Christms Train with Packages and Sandy Claws. And here's why: The track has been closed. Looks like a permanent change to the layout. I am told that the interlocking lever to these switches has been assigned to a different location, but MOW did not want to bother to uninstall the switches. I guess in the event of a major GO, they can lift that bar and spike the switches to a temporary alignment.

 

Show me some modeled  construction on your railroad.

Brown

 

Have you ever seen palace cars running cab-car forward???

I wonder if I can make a three car set of those for my subway.... MU them together slap some motors in them. Call it the museum train. Name it the "August Belmont" That should do I think. I'll have to try it, as I still have a spare storm door and a roof headlamp.

Show me something yellow

Maybe this would be admitting the wife's/girlfriend's favorite loco or rolling stock would be too "cute"

Here is something else yellow, and a scratchbuilt house

Since there is a snowstorm heading into Maine tonight, show me something tropical with palm trees.
