So now it will be apple orchards and packing sheds ?    At least the BNSF runs thru Wenatchee. 

Former employer had a ferroalloy plant there, closed in 1974 or so. That was a GN line "in the day" in case you ever want to go back in time.

It must be a wonderful place to live. Was difficult to get personnel to transfer from there.

Been working the last few months on turning the layout from Ardmore, OK to Wenatchee, WA on the B side. The A side
still looks like it did before with the Ed-type winter scene. It will be re-worked to look like the Columbia River gorge between
Rock Island and Trinidad on the Columbia River Sub. The grasses of Wyoming (first venture with this layout) translated
well into Oklahoma. Now it seems to be fine on the new articulation. Here's pics of the transformation.

Very cool Chuck, always like seeing this little layout, and BNSF makes it that much better. Watching the layout develop and locales change has been very enjoyable.

I have an old 2x4 built and floating around yet, might take another crack at it for something similar to this after my current little project. Just have to fight the temptation to start another right now :scared:

Thanks for re-posting all the photos !  Very enjoyable indeed.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

With a photo backdrop?  It looks like Trinidad. 

The cliffs between Rock Island and Trinidad would be a job to model in 3D...
