Auto rack with new Jeeps heading east. (Less load restraintsEmbarrassedand safty cables on the top deck posts). Waiting on some nice L.R.'s from Spring Mills Depot.

coming. 

going.

The rolling stock is a Walthers product and has been on the layout for three days so far. The vehicles are from Brekina.

PS. I think Brekina was carrying the ball up hill when they dropped it and the ball rolled back over them when they designed and released the "universal/CJ".

A bird's eye view of my town of Willoughby, still under construction. 

The shot was taken from my basement stairs. 

Willoughby is at the terminus of the short line Munsee Valley Railroad. It is a summer resort town on a lake in the southern tier of New York. The empty spot in the lower right is reserved for a craftsman hotel which I bought at the NMRA national show when it was in Columbus, Oh which I believe was about 30 years ago. It might finally see the light of day. Well the light of my basement anyway.

More bird's eye views.

"Show more panoramic views of layouts/train rooms.  Regards, Peter"

I just realized I haven't updated these photos for a long time. It will take two photos to show the 4X10 BRVRR layout.

The east end:

More layout photos please.

Well, David showed a panoramic view of the layout, so here is a Pan of my trainroom. It is ugly but the trackwork is flawless and in 15 years never had an electrical issue.

 

How about a pan of your trainroom, please.
