In my case, that would be the whole layout. The small platform will hold my MRC Tech 4 and also give me a place to put my beer while running trains. Show me something a semaphore.

Please show something you accomplished recently on your layout

Since Lee [yankee flyer] didn't pick a new topic, I'll assume it's still the one that Garry suggested.  

Here is something I just finished building this weekend: A by-product refinery to process the gases emitted by my coke ovens.  I started with a Walthers North Island Refinery kit, then attached ~18" of half-inch diameter Evergreen tubing to carry the coke gases to the refining facility (the brown pipe on the left).

...then, I configured some additional piping to take the finished liquids from the refinery.  Two pipes go to a tank car loading platform, the other two empty into the gray storage tank:

 I shot these photos quickly just to get them on this thread, the whole trainroom is still a construction zone as you all can see! That's why normally you'll only see me posting pics of my previous layout.  So....let's see some pictures of "under construction" areas of your layout! Big Smile

I was hoping to see somebody else's Alco PA, but after waiting all day, here are some Katy PA's in an older photo. 

Please show something you accomplished recently on your layout or with a loco or rolling stock.

Well, 16 hours. Nothing old that's been restored. But I have something in a similer vein. This Atlas signal tower has appeared on 2 of my last three layouts and will appear again on my new layout. Show me your Atlas Signal Tower.

I just finished restoring this Atlas ranch style house. It has sentmential value to me because I originally built it for one of my first two layouts in the early 1960s

Show me something you built a long time ago and restored for use on a later layout

First kit loco I ever built. (With Dad's help, for I was only 12)

40 years ago Dad brought this kit home, and over a few weeks, little by little it went together. I gave it a total reworking in 2007 2 years before Dad passed. He was so glad that I had kept it and had refurbished it.

Show me something with some sendimental story to it.

This brass 2-4-4-2 was a present from my wife back when I modled the 1900 era. In the photo, it is posed on the branch line of my current layout. It is not converted to DCC, and spends most of its time on a display shelf.

Please show an assembled kit.
