    Mike,

    You are right. That's very good.

    I was wondering if I can make a whole village in adobe houses? I love the adobe houses.

    Thanks Mark for your support.

    I do not know how to built adobe houses. Do you know of any web site that might be helpful?

    By the way are you going to use just Unitracks for your new layout or combine it.

    Thanks.

    Mo:)

    Mo:

    The sky's the limit. Try to build the adobe houses. It might be a learning experience for you.

    Look up Indian dwellings; adobe huts in the southwest.

    Then build it in N scale from photo's of the real structures which are plentiful on the web.


    Stay cool and run steam..... [​IMG] :cool: :cool:

    Pete, how close to the ceiling was your camera in that shot? Handheld, or tripod?

    Hmm,

    That's a flash shot. I was probably pretty close to the ceiling--which is 8 feet at that point.

    Over on the ATSF layout:

    I really try to reward people that study scenes closely:

    That's a bald eagle on top of that tree!

    And right across the tracks from it:

    The "Welcome to Winslow" billboard in the background is photoshopped from the actual one in Winslow.

    [​IMG]

    Yep, Welcome to Winslow!

    Meanwhile, the entire HVRR is now becoming increasingly unusual with a locomotive population including two Shays - 60 ton and 18-ton, a Heisler, and 1 1/2 Climaxes, all operating.

    Proof positive that tourism is a winfall for the local economy, even for the courts.

    And slightly less rare, a whopping 3 units received 'TigerMAC' livery:
