It sure it tough competing for a flat spot to run trains in this house. It will be a long time before the club NTRAK layout is set up again. <sigh>

Nice layout Russell. In the second shot it looks like the dish is about to run away with the spoon. groaner
Russ, please start the gravy train. Nice shot, Jeffrey! Reading Geep and Pennsy SW7 working the interchange.
When I was kid in Chicago in the early 60's there was a resturant that actully did that. Still remember going there to this day.... just can't remember the name of the place. ratled
Russell pretty cool. Nothing new on the layout this week so I thought I'd share my N-TRAK module. Dan
Hi, all, For this week.... I just noticed that the NMRA 2010 Milwaukee Convention Layout Tour registration web page has a superb collection of photos of the layouts on the tours: NMRA 75th Anniversary Convention Layout Tours Regardless of scale or your opinion of NMRA, you'll love browsing the photos. And kudos to the NMRA volunteers and layout owners, who, year after year, put on this convention, and open their home layouts for the attendees to see. It's a quite huge national scale undertaking. Whoever did the photos and built that web page, my hat's off to them. Great job. And, I do think NMRA conventions are great to go to.
Sheese John, Its gonna take a while to go through all those. Thanks. There almost as many links as your site. Someone is taking advantage of the no elbows on the table rule. Thats darn close to the edge. I am nerveous for you Russell. Looks good Tony, I like the fence and the bridge. Gramps, you keep us all motivated with your less is more approach. Always well done scenes and great locos and cars. Nothing new from me yet.
X3420 sitting at "Summit" waiting to get onto industry lead. Some hoppers to pick up...... Traffic a bit slow right now. :thumbs_down:
I picked up a Proto 0-8-0 at the local LHS during the holidays. It was priced rather nicely, although it is the older version with electrical pickup on the engine only, it runs very good, but would stall out on my dead frogs. I added tender pickups, and a Digitrax DZ125P decoder, and this baby creeps like my shays. :thumbs_up: A not so good video of it.

Unfortunately no. There are some other gates on the layout that will be movable but this one was just going to work out easy. The berm on the right side was added because it was easier than making the fence drop down in a ditch and then back up to track level. Doing that made the area a little soft and I was planting the fence while the groundcover was still wet.
