BAR GP7, Now you really have gone too far. You need to stop! I really can't tell if that is real-life or your wonderful, skilled craftwork!!!!!!!!!!! OMG. Even the interior support beams are scuffed and soiled. I'm looking and looking and have decided...you ARE the master!!!!!!!!!! Wow. And another WOWeee!

When we have to squint to discern if it isn't real life, then we are in the presence of far too much coolness!

To say the least, you da man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FrankM

FrankM: Thank you very much Sir. I am so glad you like it. I can't stop because this is a world greatest hobby and i love my hobby too much. ☺

Here in Finland can't not found many O-scale 3rd-rail hobbyist, maybe 5-10 guys. I really hope at i can visit Your beautiful country some day and meet some O-gauge hobbyist and see some nice layout.  Thanks again.

Don't you dare stop, Johan, because you are an inspiration to us all. Indeed, keep on making yourself happy in our hobby, of course! You sure help spread the joy when we see your success at your modeling triumphs.

Such GREAT work shown here makes me a little apprehensive to show any of my layout.  Here's my modest contribution.....

Serows/Paul, I'd love to see more! You have that gently rolling terrain above the tunnel crafted in a way I have not seen before, and I consider it masterful. The groundcover and landscape everywhere appears to be a skill of yours. Do share more of everything, because the way you have situated those two smoking steam trains in that photo (focused on here to underscore my applause for the whole vista and its skilled landscaping, especially) shows a man who knows how to play, in my opinion, and craft a scene.

I'm with Patrick today. A "little more steam". Mine is # 99.

Not my photo, but still pretty cool.

Keepin' the home fires burnin':

In front of the mountain is the American Flyer illuminated station and a couple of HO Scale buildings:

Since the buildings are a little in the distance and in front of a mountain and tunnel, they work eventhough in HO. BTW, the buildings were already made and dirt cheap that I bought from a local train store that was happy to have me take it off their hands.

One of the buildings came with an already made "fire and smoke" coming out of the chimneys on its roof:

Hey Arnold!  Pretty cool looking scene!  The piping mixed with the tank cars gives this scene a refinery sort of effect!  Nice!!

And for today:  " Faceoff of Power "
