N Scale Train Boy
More Switching please!

.

Here is an RS3 switching tank cars on an N scale layout.

.

I saw this layout at a train show in Fort Myers, Florida, but it had no identification so I cannot give credit to the builder.

.

.

Show me a scene with only straight track, no curves, but turnouts are OK.

.

How about a church scene and a town scene?

At first, the church scene and some church yard detail.

And now the own scene.

More town scenes, please!

Happy times!
