Thanks, everyone, for your kind words.
Every layout we build seems to lead to another.
What we learn from one we try to incorporate.
I always loved trains and, to me, the ultimate experience is to stand trackside, be it one the mainline or in the yard. I never got to see steamers during the Golden Age so what I am trying to do is with the help of experts, photos and a wing and a prayer.
I am inspired by Rich Battista, Norm Charbonneau, Vulcan, SIRT, Hot Water, Chugman, Leavingtracks, Trevize, Pitogo, Frank53, Mike CT, Jim Policastro, Don Close, the NJ Hi Railers and a host of incredible modelers who have been kind enough to give me great feedback. My apologies to the fine modelers whose names I have omitted. I try not to look at too many photos of the work of George Sellios because I would do the same thing when I try to play guitar after listening to Eric Clapton. Just put it back in the case for another day. Sigh . . .
Chris . . . . the next one may, indeed, be two rail.
The lighting is room light (several banks of hi intensity halogens) and ambient light entering the room from four or five windows. No other lighting was used.
