You might be please to be reminded that the Altamont Commuter Express presently runs this line six days a week.

Ah! Thanks, my bad. ACE wasn't on my radar when I lived in Belmont in 2005. A whole lot wasn't... life situation interfered with railfanning. I was mostly perplexed why the SP commuter trains weren't running Trainmasters any more.  :rolleyes:

That mop bucket in the background looks like it's catching all the overflowing water. 

The mops look like they have been used recently .

@davidgray1974 I’d call it good and move on.

I would call it spectacular and drool on .

Modutrak set up at the South Central Wi. division NMRA show in Madison, Wisconsin last weekend. Captured a few of the trains we ran, but not nearly as many as I should have

I got a good photo of it in 2014.

So, Over the last 2 weeks or so, I have been working like a madman on my "Deep Woods" module. I have made tons of progress, and I feel that it's done enough to make a public Debut. This is only the 2nd piece of scenery I have been able to "finish" to a point where I feel that it looks like something. Pending approval by the MRNS Electrical, scenery, and track comitee, It MIGHT be in the layout at the show. We will see. I started to plant trees this afternoon, after finishing the wiring and painting the backdrop. My orginial plan was to use bottle brush trees as filler, and make better trees, Most likely Furnace filter trees, for the foreground. I got the bottle brush trees I had on hand planted, and I'm not sure I like it. For the moment, They are going to stay. But I think I may end up just making all the trees from scratch, to get the look I am looking for.

Anyways, Here is some pictures. No pictures of it's "Final state." If it gets the nod, and approval, then I will take some overall pictures....... Oh, and I still have to make the Hobo Camp

Got my LA Union Station backdrops reprinted in better proportion, I think. More on my Los Angeles Division layout engineering thread.
