Port City Southern switcher handles cars around a port cargo shed which has been built with a corner cut off due to tight trck clearances in the harbor.  (Part of a layout built late 1980s by a club in the window of a hobby shop.)

Show me another layout built in a hobby shop.

Ok, since no one took the bait on small layouts, how about large ones. Here is a shot of my 65 car long, Maryland Midland  aggregate and mixed freight  train on the Four County Society of Model Engineers layout, at the Timonium train show. Yes, the arrow points to the caboose!

Show me your workbench!Big Smile
