Great-looking photo Mike, both the trains and the scenery. Bow

I wouldn't even attempt to follow-up on that.

Nothing urban about this scene on the BNSF model railroad in the Chicago Museum Of Science And Industry.

Show me another train outside of a city.

I was really excited about this "Fireball Express" decal I found in a 1/25 scale car kit decal set.

Unfortunately the yellow "Fireball Express" lettering is on a white background. I could not tell this when it was on the white decal carrier paper.

NEVER print yellow lettering on a white background. Come on people, that is heraldry 101 right there. This mistake is really a shame, because this could have been one awesome looking boxcar.

Garry, I think your way of dealing with the outside corner was well handled with that wrap-around bakery. Very nice.

This scene is on the Orlando N-Trak groups portable layout:

Show me some wildlife or non-domesticated animals.
