What a day this was...

The Great Thanksgiving Day Disaster (2016)! The Copper Cannonball laid over on her side! Oh the humanity of it all!

It's a Gulf Coast thing:

Thanks a lot, Briansilvermustang. Those bridges were my first attempt at weathering simple toy Lionel bridges, and the result motivated me to dedicate a whole corner project (which will continue to be shown in subsequent photos) to their use, well beyond what I had originally envisioned and planned for them.

Diverging Clear, Thanks for your positive feedback. I appreciate it. All those products, including the suspect ivy, and the gravels, pylons, walls, and the "water" (produced by assiduously following the instructions for combining the ingredients and taking some  liberties with the dyes) were purchased from Jim Elster's Scenic Express.

I'm not sure if this breaks any rules, so if we can't post S or HO, please only look at the top 3 rows.
