Man that looks good. I loved the 2nd picture, looked just like a lot of the little farm towns in my area. You really captured the heartland. Keep up the great work.

Who did you have to kill to get that kind of space. I would SO LOVE to have a room like that. Looks great so far. Keep up the good work!

Jeff, I'd be there but I'm not sure if I can make it tonight from San Diego. Maybe next time I'm in the area. [:D]

I've been trying to ask questions on this forum about helix on layouts; can you give me some detail on yours and how functional it is. Do you have any problems running trains of good size up it?
thanks,
Zak

Jeff,
Nice job on the helix. What are your plans to scenic over the hole? Doing a liftout or "mountain"? Could raise evevation and have additional industry or ? over it. Great benchwork and lot of it.

That is one sweet yard. Looking very good--and making me envious!

I enjoy your grain elevator shot very much. I will have a similar installation on my port line at some point in the future and your photo will assist me in my own planning.

Great work on the railroad. I feel envious at all that real estate but am intimidated by the Helix there. Amazing stuff.

Excellent stuff.
