    It looks good. thanks for sharing the pics.

    I recall seeing the cover pic of that layout on one of those Atlas books. It was one of those layouts I always wanted to have as a kid.

    The best part is I got the ok to move it out of the garage and into the basement where I have heat in the winter and TV. Oh yeah and I can hear my wife talk to me now.

    Nice progress! Why don't you get your wife interested in helping? I did, and it was the best thing ever in my modeling.

    Looks great, I built this layout when I lived in a small Brooklyn apartment and I had a lot of great fun with it. I darn near cried when I had to move and take it down. I hope you have as much fun as I did with it. it's amazing how much you can do with it.
