BEFORE AND AFTER CORNER

Nice job!

Very nice, corners can be the nicest places for a scene like this. I've been meaning to get one of these now I know what to use it for  Great job and wonderful layout. 

My brother-in-law is going to make me buy one of those when he sees it (he collects Smiley Faces) and a corner looks like the perfect place for it.

Looks nice, and a great project with your son.

That is neat but the best part is you did it with your son!

Nice job!

Very Nice !! 

Thanks for the replies and comments.  The funnest part of it all is when my boy throws the power on and we lay our heads down to dog level on the track to watch the trains.  We are all most done with the layout and hope to get some photos off to the magazine some day.  Need to work on our photography.   Nick

What a great way to bond with your son.

My dad was my best train buddy.

Sure do miss him.

 

great father and son bonding ,,like the buzz light year

my youngest of 4 is now ten. All the others are grown and moved out. Vanny, my 10 year old, helps often on the layout. I am already dreading the day she moves on and I lose my last in house helper. That smiley tower project with your son will be a sweet memory every time either of you see a smiley face for the rest of your lives. Awesome. 

That looks perfect in that corner.  Love the smiley face and Buzz.  Nice job.

Very neat. How big is Buzz and where did you find him?

Buzz is 1 inch tall.  We found him in a parking lot of Hobby Town about 8 Years ago.  My son was just a baby then and I had no idea what a Lionel was then.  If you look in all our pics, Buzz and or R2-D2 will be hiding out in it.  Nick  

t8afao....thanks for the info.  I will be on the lookout for R2D2.

 

We have some SpongeBob "squinkies" that sometimes make an appearance on our layout that are probably the same size. 

looks like a fun time was had by Dad and Son!!!  With GREAT results to boot.
