Anybody have a layout more crowded than this?

Yes, Michael I have. Yours is very well done, but the one I am referring to was a complete disaster. The benchwork was not level (very noticeable), the track was very rusted, and the accessories were jammed together with no plan. It was in what I would call a modified crawl space in the Pacific Northwest.

 

Now you can have wonderful thoughts about more space so that you can take your obvious talent and expand upon it.

You could make this a game: how many trains can you find?   I see one.  Don

Just so you know, there are four.

I don't know, but I want that Beatles "Let It Be" poster on your wall.

 

yes, my old layout.  Had something like 19 or 20 trains on a 8 x 12 ft layout.

After this layout vowed never again to use 027 switches, or any switches for that matter !

 

 

 

 

That above looks like a protest against those "Paved with Plasticville".  Now, don't get me wrong, I had Plasticville as a kid, kitbashed a number of PV stations that I was going to use until I didn't think they looked right with O scale kit ones,  (what DID look right was the family resemblance to each other) but I distinctly remember two layouts that were one or two loops around a center filled with, not track, but Plasticville structures, and streets with rows of those houses.   The poster's photo above, looks like a lot of variety beyond one source, and the second is the one  I think looks like a protest.

Hey, that is a good urban layout - crowded city, is all.

 

And any layout with a blimp overhead is first class in my book!

No offense, but a layout with no switches at all seems like it would get boring pretty quickly.

Well I see you have plenty of room for a few more buildings no problem, just might have to cut some trees down! BTW its time to build up! you can put another elevated loop up.

Hi Michael, look at it this way; your layout is such a wonderful place to live all the little people wont to build there.

 

Besides, I think I see enough space at the base of the power tower in the lower right of the picture for one of the Ameritown, OGR warming houses.

Got some Ameritown, but they are against the right wall of the layout which cannot be seen.

How about this one???

 

FREDSTRAINS

OR this one?

I think the OP wins so far.  I see lots of table on the last two for more stuff.

I like it...!!!

Fredstrains....I have had one of those Lionel electric producing windmills on order from my LHS since the Fall of 2012. Time to give up on that one I think and go to the used market.

I'm more concerned about the helicopter flying into the transmission line at the far corner.  ;-)

Ed, every time you post a pic of your old layout, I see another engine or set that I have in my own collection!

Yes, I need to wake up the flight crew!

Does this fit the thread?

Hey everyone,

 

I think ChooChooPaul should get the TROPHY!!!

 

Fredstrains

Hey ChooChooPaul can you actually run any of those trains, do you suffer from lots of wrecks ?

 

I wonder can you quadruple head locos under DCS ?

 

You get the prize, no question
