    Nice ride. The grassy trackside is really great. Are your switch stands operational?

    Larry, Thank you for the link. I forgot about them. Do you use 1:43 cars? If so do you put them in the back or hide them a bit? Jim

    Yes, switch stands are operational. I'm using Caboose Ind 214 HO scale - they look about right size for O scale.

    Most of the vehicles are 1:43 and those are in the foreground. I have some 1:50 and those are toward the back.

    Starting work on the next piece of layout, around the corner. A small copper mine north of Mohawk.

    Finished the cut between Mohawk and Phoenix. Probably could use some more dead fall

    This has a very familiar look for me. Sort of 'out into the mountains' somewhere.

    And after work at the mine, the Ernatt brothers sit down for a few games of checkers

    It may be a dull game. I don't see a jug of 'Shine. :)

    Interesting shelter for the loco. Can we see it more closely?

    Beautiful detail. The ROW looks like it belongs on a shoestring-budget shortline, not a class 1 RR. Lots of weeds, minimal/no ballast, wide tie spacing, etc, etc... Wow!

    Thanks. I had no idea it was a commercial kit.

    I just uploaded another video. Tough to run the train and run the camera at the same time.

    Wow. Nice. The lush greenery. Every photo or video, I am seeing neat details in the background. Ideas and inspirations a-plenty.

    Sometimes the local has to stop at the D&B to use the facilities
