Here is a construction AREA, but not much actual construction shows. (And it's been a while since I've taken this shot, without much progress here.) There IS some hidden staging track laid back behind the export grain elevator mockup, and the false-front mockup of shipside cargo sheds. The offshore oil rig under construction is safety award trophy from a garage sale, not yet rehabilitated for use as a background model.
Cars sitting on blue foam show where future industry spurs are to be laid, after hidden layover and test loop trackage is laid and trouble-shot.
Today is the second of the month. Show me your second something- your second loco or second car or second structure, etc.
The second structure I built on my layout was the turntable. Here it is right after I finished building, weathering, wiring & installing it:

Thanks Lee.
Nice photo of the remake by Durango & Silverton (D&S). The real car, the one I based my model on, was destroyed in the Alamosa shop fire back in 1950s. Amazing that the D&S would rebuild from scratch this beautiful and unique car.
Here's a great article on the history of the Silver Vista:
