Still in 2 minds about the unfinished area I"m leaning alightly towards an engine yard as I do have the bachmann service centre all ready to go. Wouldnt mind some advice on fitting in an engine service area in that area
Great pictures Paul. I know there is a desire to fill every little space we have on our layouts but some open spaces are needed too to keep the realism going. That's a very nice grain elevator you have there.
Oh I love those Mopacs they are the pride of the fleet well maybe one day Mitch I will send some more stuff over but I know at the moment you are so busy with work. I will post a few more pics a little later on [/QB][/QUOTE] Paul, You're a man after my own heart. Looks like you and I model the same era when UP started acquiring MP, SP, Rio Grande, etc. Nice to see somebody else doing what I'm doing. Makes me think I'm not too much of a Maverick... Keep up the good work
Thanks Tim, I origally just modelled the UP but got a little tired of seeing only yellow and grey running around the layout so I decided to step back a little and model some of the fallen flags. I now have UP, SP, Mopac, Rio Grande on the roster as well as some MRL and BNSF just to add some variation to the layout I dont have any CN&W at this stage as i'm not a real fan of the paint scheme but thats the beauty of modelling you can run whatever youlike
You mean you don't like that beautiful green and yellow? It was those very colors that rekindled my passion for model railroading after being away from it for a few years. It wasn't long after that though they went belly up. Or is it UP. I never did care for the UP, but now I have to give in and have at least one yellow and gray. [ 06.

Paul, Great looking pictures of your layout. Looks like you guys down in oz have got it going on. I would love to see more of your running session. I am going to the summer run on NCNGs layout on 19 July, and as I promied I will get some snaps of his layout and post them. Again, great shots, Shannon WP LIVES
I'm the same way. I'm not one to settle on just one road. I like too many of them. I have a couple of the new Atlas WP GP40s on order to add a little more flavor. I even went a step further and recently purchased some KCS GP30s to run on the layout to pay homage to my hometown. I like them so much they may have a permanent home on the layout. I'm considering that KCS will "purchase" my independent shortline which serves the cities of my W&PRR! It's all about havin' fun!
