A Ford pick up truck sits in a metered spot while it's owner and his wife begin window shopping in West Elizabeth PA, on the Mid Mon Valley Model railroad Club layout in New Eagle PA. 

 

So, let's see another City/town scene.

(My Model Railroad, My Rules) 

These are the opinions of an under 35 , from the east end of, and modeling, the same section of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railway.  As well as a freelanced road (Austinville and Dynamite City railroad).

It’s been a long time, how about a bump to a night scene.

The guys at the Black River team track are working hard to finish before full darkness.

How about another night scene?

An overall view of the Boothbay Railway Village layout taken last June; lots of work in progress now that the museum is closed for the winter

Show me your layout

Mine has grown too big for one photo but here is all of the "new" in one shot.  Everything to the left of the 2-6-6-2 at the upper right was built during the past few months, starting from raw benchwork.

Only one more day left this month... show me some more layouts.

It's also hard for me to fit the whole layout in a photo. I'm showing this one because, some of you might like the cabinets beneath the layout. Thye are on wheels, and can be pulled into the aisle. The top of each cabinet has a smooth working surface.. There is a shelf inside,and  so there are two levels inside each cabinet. 

 

Please show some or all of your layout.

 Garry, nice!  I like the idea of the cabinets under the layout.  nicely done so you can still get under there to work...

Here is photo showing about 1/3rd of the SLOW.  This photo was one that was used for the NMRA AP Scenery Certificate to show the overview of the area being usede for the certificate.  This is not an aqngle that anyone would normally see as I had to crawl under the layout and get behind it in the far corner to get the shot.

Show me another view of your layout that visitors would not likely see.  (At least from that angle)

We'll get there sooner or later!

OK, Show me another view of your layout that visitors would not likely see.  (At least from that angle).  This is a view of my two-way radio communications site from the air.

Wow, got to say it, I'm really liking the "layout" theme.  Posts just showing details don't do the complete layouts justice and you guys are setting a new standard for what a finished layout should look like.  Hopefully I will get there someday.

And great photo angle on the SLOW.  One day left, keep 'em coming.

This is from the cow's point of view.

This is a picture taken through a window across the tracks inside my diesel maintenance building showing the shop area and workers.

This is an "aerial" view of the Greenvale section of my layout that I made by stitching together about a dozen photos in Photohshop. It was a study I made before a rebuild.

Show me another layout view
