The beaver!

Now if the Grinch came along and took one thing off your layout that rolls on rails, what would you want him to take. Show me your least favourite thing on your rails.

No Predator? I was thinking of one of the cats on the layout, but they thought I was nuts. Off course they think this a lot about me.

Oh well, how about a box car in the process of being loaded.

Here's my favorite Diner and I can gas up too with that Good Gulf gasoline. The attendant checks the oil & tires checked and cleans the windshield. Oh for the good old days.

Let's keep the same subject....eating or drinking establishments

Show me another newly completed scene on a layout.

Grampy - I know I have made comments on your layout before. It is of the style and make that I myself prefer. I also must comment on your lighting aswell. Is this your actual lighting, or are you that good of a photographer?

Several of your pics have made me sit and think, dang, i hope i can do that! I am in the final planning stages of a somewhat temporary shelf layout and would love to utilize some of your effects.

There are many others that post some truely good stuff (as the pics above show), but yours seem to draw me the most. I am wondering how much of it is your layout, and/or the photography. Or both?

Vic Roseman (usually see his photos in Walthers catalogs) really had a photog style i would love to emulate. Alas, i am about as good a photographer as Bozo the clown was a pole vaulter. Just cant figure it out.

I don't want to be a thread-hog here but I like to see the activity! Keep up the nice work, and Thanks Douglas...

Here's a couple of '53 Ford Couriers and a spiffy '55 Ford Customline. The colorful vehicles were sure more fun then. The boring colors (or lack thereof) today are tiresome.

Show me a railroad-owned vehicle... please

Can we bend the rules a bit????? This years Christmas Tree. There is a wood train on the hearth and many train ornaments in the tree. Can you spot the blue Thomas in the centre?

Show me a train Christmas ornament or something Christmassy on the layout.
