    Hi Everybody,

    I just "finished" my newest layout. It is 20 inches X 16 inches. It's a simple starter oval. The mountain is stacked foam. The tunnel portals are from TGauge.com. The vehicles come from Shapeways, eBay and TGauge.com. The buildings are cardstock from CustomZScales.com. The trees are from TGauge.com and eBay. The ground cover is Woodland Scenics ground foam and static grass. I scratch-built the swing set and slide. The people are also from TGauge.com. The miscellaneous rocks are plaster castings, and the river is painted and coated with Mod Podge.

    Here is the link to my Flickr album: T Scale Layout | Flickr

    Thanks for all of the positive comments guys.
    Scott, The park benches at the station and the gas pumps at the gas station were the most frustrating.
    In answer to your question about the locos and rolling stock I present the following:

    I will be taking this layout to the NMRA National Train show in Grapevine, Texas in August. I'll be with the Z scale modular layout. I'll have some of my Z scale stuff too.

    The photos don't convey the scale of this. I figured that the "grass" is about the same size the static grass on my HO layout, and then I could see how tiny everything is. And the track gauge. Small enough to double up on my reading glasses...;)

    Fantastic, superlative, admirable. :notworthy:
