Erie Railroad Mahoning division HCD

No grades, but there is some wiggle room so they should be OK.

So I got bored and dusted off the layout 

Lol Chris, you should get bored more often!
Love your Mahoning, truly exceptional

Enough with the diesel crap 

Slowly working on another Berkshire using Keystone Details rear trailing truck. In real life the ash pan sat on top of the trailing truck, but to simplify things I mounted it to the frame. I'm running around 13.5" curves on the inside and I thought the ash pan hanging out while going around curves would look silly. Also mounted the rear truck "bearing plate" to the frame. Still more "stuff" to add at the rear.

All of this happens to fix one pet peeve of mine about steam locomotives. All the open space under there. So far it runs great around my curves.

I've done the same thing on a few of my locos . Bachmann seems to be the biggest offender ....

Since it was dusted off and the tracks were cleaned:

Wow.. Just wow.. That is a work of art.. Thanks for sharing.. The pictures along the way were great, but the video takes it to a whole new level..!

If that’s not a Cover shot I don’t know what is

For some reason I like going back and looking at my own progress 

I noticed all the Bing map links no longer take you to their "birds eye view". Suck my balls Bing!

I think it's awesome how all of the little (and big) projects have turned into such a cohesive layout..The structures, the roads, the trackwork all come together to form such a great picture of a time and place....

Oh, and the trains are cool too!

I love this layout.  Just needs a few Stillwells on it...

This could be why.

This is absolutely top notch work! I especially admire the track work at the junction; it's so neat and tidy and looks totally realistic for mainline eastern roads in the 'classic era'.

So is this layout "done"? Time to sell it and move onto another project?
