As a fellow N scaler with a very small layout, may I compliment you on the amount of detail that you have so far!!! It is beautiful! I love te way you have weathered the equipment too. Is that dry brushing? Please tell us your techniques.

Happy railroading!

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one with a small layout! Good work!

I wish my first layout would have looked that good. If this is your first, I can only imagine what you could do with a whole room!
