That is way to neat. Go to your room and make a mess or you will embarrass the rest of us !
Here are a couple different angles of the mountain showing my progress so far.
....and what the heck as a C424 doing shunting a single car anyway......?
Very nice A4E! He's catching up my collection in numbers! I'm looking to add a Fairmont M9 if I can find a decent one. I have wanted to get a velocipede but they are very rare and very expensive. A friend of mine has a former Maine Central one made from white oak that he restored a few years ago...its now worth $15,000
This layout is becoming one heck of a good-looking layout that, IMO, should appear in a magazine sometime soon.
So, David Gray how did you do your rock work? It really looks good.
...it is time for me to focus on how to lay, actuate and control my turnouts.
Dave:Nice looking layout so far!Mike:Good work on the bridges. I hope they will see NAR as well as CN power . . .With my upper deck track gangs waiting at the Tremblay west switch, and the lower deck track gangs closing fast on the east switch at Sundance, it is time for me to focus on how to lay, actuate and control my turnouts...
+1I love the tower. Your work reminds me why I love smaller layouts, as it allows one to super concentrate on making an exceptional scene.
He used rocks from:http://www.cripplebush.net/
Thanks for the kind words, Tim. CN units will show up on my bridges as well as NAR. The NAR had a habit of leasing GP-9s from both CN and CP when they were short on power during the grain rush in the fall... and it just happens to be the fall of '79 in my "world"!! Lucky coincidence? I think not! I think that 1979 would be the year to model the NAR, what with names aded to the locomotives and the yellow NSC boxcars arriving.How are you going to control your turnouts? Manual or remote? If you're going manual (AKA finger flip)
