Bittersweet is the only way I can describe it as one of your regular operators. I'm glad it's going to be used, but those were fun times in the attic.

Holy ***** I can't believe it's been 10 years!!

If our layouts die twice, then yours is gonna live forever!

Also, I cannot THINK of a better home for that roundhouse. I'm looking forward to seeing it as part of a new empire.

Now, about that weedy PC branchline...

Agreed.

Safe and sound in SC! Holy smokes this thing is big! I’m thinking it will look great as part of a permanent yard that is freemoN height along the wall on the left.

I found Lee’s website when I was in grad school at the University of Maryland around 2008. I was into coal roads prior to that but that layout was a big part of why I decided to model the WM. I’m honored to have this piece, and will try to do it justice.

The good news is the actual module I had installed it on didn't fit in his trunk.  I have another copy of the turntable kit, so I'm thinking I might build a simplified engine terminal and small yard scene with a 6 or 8 stall roundhouse.  Seems silly since I have enough retro steam to fill that big guy twice over,but you know, a lightly used junction terminal could be just the thing to launch that branch line project...
