Show me another part of a layout that was demolished for rebuild

Does the 1:1 cardboard mock up layout count? Of course it does!

Show me another layout from the past.

It lasted for around six weeks.

Happy New Year! Thanks for starting things off NVSR!

This view shows a helix tucked into a corner:

I wanted a bit of a view block but still wanted to maintain access so I cobbled together a stone-face to hide the loop:

This is from the N scale NORFOLK STRATTON layout I built for Scale Rails of Southwest Florida back in 1992. The unreallistic looking high cliff sides hide the mainline staging tracks.

This is on the section in the upper right of this picture.

Show me another bridge please.

From the same layout, a farmers field in the background of a grain elevator being serviced by a GATX MP15. I think the same field in kevins picture, the bridge is behind the elevator. This layout has definitely gotten grayer since the first time I saw it when I was 8. Still a jaw dropping layout. In the background of the layout, New York Central 999, the first train to reach 100mph. 

 

Sorry for the poor picture quality, I screen shotted this off a video in my snapchat album, heres an arerial of the field, both the bridge and grain elevator are visable. This layout truly needs to be seen to belive. This isnt even half of the layout!

Please show me a train modeled after a prototype

EDIT: upon closer inspection, the bridge in kevins photo is above the barn, not behind the elevator

Oldest locomotive ....... mine is from the 1920's. 

Looking at the top shelf of above my work table, you can barely see a black object. It is the remains of a live steam locomotvie built by my grandfather in the 1920's.

The lower shelves have some old HO from the 1950's. 

My oldest HO locomtive is this Tenshodo NYC Hudson. My father brought it to me from Japan when I was a teenager in the 1950's.

Please show your oldest locomtive.

1500. a GP38 (only one with a plow) is the oldest in the HO fleet that is running. but:

That is the oldest on the layout.  sits in the locomotive shop.  An old 1956 Varney that was my Grandfathers. not DCC equipped.  Nor even has a lightbulb in it.  even better, spent most of its life in that very building where it sits now. Maybe someday it will be run and pull a train again..  This one does run

 

Lets see more oldest locos in the fleet

I can't get the whole layout in a photo. Here are two views. Each is at the opposite end of my 64' long train room. The walls have several 90 degree corners. Width of the room, varies from 10' to 16'. The layout follows about 130' of walls. It is double track; point-to-point; with a loop at each end. In each of the pictures there is some layout behind the camera and out of view.

Garry: "Please show any part of your layout."

The southwest corner of the BRVRR layout with a view of Black River and a NYC coal drag on the  eastbound mainline.

How about a panoramic layout photo.   Any photo any subject. Lets keep 'Show Me Something' moving.
