Wow! This is the funnest thing EVER! I have really enjoyed this tag-style game. I'm not yet at the point where my layout looks like much, so I'll not post a photo. But man, what a riot this is! Double-plus good!

Jump right in!

A few years ago, there was a regular contributor to SHOW ME SOMETHING named James Counts. His layout was simply plywood covered in green felt with Bachmann EZ Track.

He shared pictures, and was welcomed by all. I miss his posts. SHOW ME SOMETHING was just about the only thread he ever posted in.

This is a friendly welcoming area about sharing pictures, please do not think there is a minimum level necessary for participation.

Well, thank you Kevin. Since you insist. Here's a House

It's a boathouse, but it's still a house. When I was about 15, my friend and I got in a rowboat and rowed up the bay from his home on Bainbridge Island, and while he held the boat against the tidal current I sketched this boathouse, which really existed and may still to this day. Then we went back to his house and we each made one from scratch using my drawing. It's probably the best scratch-built thing I ever made, though it was never really finished and it's propped up on a pencil because it's meant to go on a sloped beach. I'll fit it into the Priest River scene someday.

I'd guess that the C&O would qualify...

...but when I backdated my layout to the late '30s era, I had to re-letter those cars with a plainer version of the lettering...
