Thank you Dave, RTR12, and John on the turntable advice.  Yes, I have seen many folks remark about Atlas O and MTH Scaletrax being hard to get at times.  That is why I have tried every kind of track out there except for those two.  Now as far as the atlas turntable goes, I can either mate up GarGraves to it or put GarGraves on it, so there is no concern.  

No, I don't need one immediately, but it is something I need to get a handle on and be watching for.  This sounds like a scenario I have heard before as to things folks find at York.  They find something they never found anywhere else, even online.  Yes, I only live 240 miles from York, but I have never been there.  

John, I am familiar with Davis as I worked about 15 miles from there at the power station 20 to 25 years ago.  It is on a plateau area that is rather stark for West Virginia because of the elevation.  Quite a difference in appearance from Hendricks down in the valley.  Those are differences to capitalize on.  I do not know whether I was aware of the tunnel or not.  If I was, I forgot.  I agree, that would be something cool to do too.  I have always wanted to try a mirror, but never have.

I saw your homemade turntable on the latest videos you posted last weekend!  Pretty neat!  That rotary snow plow looked pretty neat as well.  I have an MTH plow that can be pushed by an engine.  I ran it this Christmas some.  I see what you mean about weathering the Atlas turntable.  I also like manual.  Even though my career has been in electronics, I like to keep things as simple as possible at home.  One less motor to maintain and a few less wires to tag and document works for me!!

No I need to get back to digging out that closet to find my Western Maryland information.
