This complex was the very first thing I built for my current layout. It is mounted on a board so I was able to work on it inside the house then move it to the layout.

Show the first structure or group of structures you made for your current layout or even for your first layout.

Denver Union Station was the very first structure I built for my layout. This was about 3 years ago.

 

Show me a shot of the beginning build on your current layout.

 Boy Ken, that made stop and think.

 Guess one of the first buildings was in this picture.

 

 I bought it of E Bay, it was a Ford (Yuck) that I was going to make in to a Dodge Dealership.

 First building I built, I think it was a Pinskiee (sorry about the spelling) It was a kit you kit bash. I knew I was over my head when I read "After All We Are Modelers Right". Don't seem to have any pictures of it. Whistling

 I started getting better and did some Cornerstone Kits and they tuned out OK. Then I got into DMP.

 

 The young man is a friend of my son Crisp

 Most of my buildings have been packed away waiting for a few years on me to build a Adult looking layout.

 Like my K-10 Mining addition, like this.

 Show me when you started getting more advanced

After I built and installed the Deer Creek Viaduct (two Microscale tall viaduct kits bashed into a 36" radius), I figured I had DEFINITELY gotten advanced, LOL!

OK!  This is an overview of the layout used for the Scenery certificate in the NMRA AP Program.  It is actually of the 1/3rd. of the layout as a whole finished back then.

Show me an overview of your layout.

We'll get there sooner or later!

Allen, that looks really good. I like all of the crossovers. Gives it a sense of busyness.

OK...

 

This is me and a load I built:

Yes, it's 1/1, but I loaded this car and 25 others a few years ago.  We were closing a window manufacturing plant and had a little lumber to send to plants that were not closing.  We had laid off the work force, so a shift manager and I (HR manager) had to do some "real" work.

Show me a load you made

I bought 2 of the 1967 Plymouth GTXs from Malibu International Diecast and repainted one to a close match of the 1967 Dodge Coronet 440 Convertible that my future wife's mother owned when we were dating.

Show me some RR boxcars

 Here is part of my Tyco Old Dutch Hopper Fleet.

 

 All the cars are the correct weight, Kadee Body Mounted Couplers and PK 2000 wheels. I learned a lot from these cars.I was told I was stupid from some trolls that have been banished from this site. If you learn how to make toy train cars work like a champ, you can fix anything!

 Show me something that helped you learn.

First time using foam for landscape. I really wondered how it would turn out and it turned out better than expected.

Show me a snowshed.

Snowsheds have timed out, so here is a cold frame and shed, next to the yellow house (for starting plants early, protected from frost)

Show me a garden

The admiral enjoys having a garden in front of his administration building, aboard the United States Naval Air Station Tidelands (Lighter than Air).

(Yes, this is part of a railroad.  Trains bring helium cars for the balloons Navy blimps...)

Show me something naval.... or navel.

Something Naval: (but not navelStick out tongue)

Here's the Edmund Fitzgerald being loaded with ore on the Medina RR Museum's HO layout.

Show me a night scene.
