Let's see your corners

From the old layout, circa 2000......

Peter

These are the corners of my 12'-by-8' layout completed in 2004. With an O-72 outside loop, the corners are large enough to fill them with structures and scenery.

I round off all my corners.

We will count  your rounded corners as "hidden corners"  and continue to enjoy your amazing work of art.  Awesome Job!

My round corners on the 9' high shelf railroad

(former] at the mountain cottage.

Here are two of them, both with 096 to 0112 curves, one with access behind Atlantic Ice and Cold Storage, one without as I can reach in there if I stand on a short stepladder...   

Corner 1

Corner 2

When we use larger radius track - it leaves large corner space for great things.

Very nice, Dewey. Also glad to be hearing from you again.

Thanks Dewey. I'm not sure what I would put in them if they were square. They would be very hard to reach. I do lose a square foot or two on each, by rounding, but space really isn't my problem.

Everyone else is doing some really great looking stuff with their corners. 

were did you get the alien ship

Really like how you put the Lionel accessories flat with the surrounding ground areas.  I'm going to do the same thing but seeing how yours turned out really lets me know I'm on the right path.

             some of my corners...from sharp to big, some high & low....none done...

                                                      in progress corners too...

Just put this corner together, with a few more touches to add.

Not a corner, rather a view of Magooville from a corner (mountain).

And to the southeast, lots more work to do.

                             very nice hillside photo of town Mayor Magoo...

The only corners I have...

Great imagination and corner scenicking. Keep them coming.

I think BRIANSILVERMUSTANG  cornered the market   

Modular layout scenery. Version #1, the water scene.  I still liked it, but many including club members "didn't get it".

Version #2, Pulverized coal power plant and generating station. As seen in an OGR article.

Lionel unloading shed with a coal dump chute.

Fly ash silo for loading covered hoppers. Love those Menards buildings!

Korber silo pressed into use as the coal bunker.

my favorite corner in the day

Nothing fancy but here is my my humble 027 corner. 

Do inside corners count?

Why let this thread see the coroner 

Go past Santa's place....

Over the tracks....

(thats a rubber Auburn Plymoth Fury  J Daddy )

go to the next corner....

wipe drool, and go past the old apartments....

....and keep going till you see more tracks. To take the road to town when you see a railroad flag shack..

.....you went to far 

  You should have went right a little further back to take a short cut thru the Ol' Snowy Valley tunnel to double back,, it's only slightly longer that way, make a right 

The valley is all of four corners total, and that's only because of the tracks.

I keep it in a corner

      ' K,  maybe that wasn't a short cut. So turn..

....... up 

.... out

..over 

and back up some.

.too far...

a head again....

ok, ahead again, stop....

Adriatic, unless it's a problem on my end, none of your images came through.

That's a whole lot of great work using and camouflaging those odd little spaces created when we curves where two straight object; walls or table edges, come together.  I've got some new ideas seeing other peoples use of flats and just some vehicles or trackside accessories to make it look like much larger scenes are in a smaller area.

Dewey, love that scratch built lumber shed.

Here is some of mine.

I was searching for the "dressing up corners" thread using the search function (which stinks, BTW) and found this older thread that was started by none other than Dewey Trogdon - one of the nicest and most helpful model railroaders I've ever known. I wish he was still with us, though there's some comfort with the faith that he is with God now. There's great pictures and ideas in this thread, so I used this thread to continue the discussion on "corners."

Here's how I addressed a corner on my former layout - essentially, I built-up multiple levels, thus concealing that there was a corner . I never got to the point of adding the 2nd backdrop to the wall on right-hand side. I am still working on my current layout addressing a re-build of the corners using structures.

That's for resurrecting this thread Paul - yes indeed, Dewey was a fine gentleman. Here's the North Coast Ltd heading into a corner of Bob's under construction layout. This corner will be transitioned using a viaduct or perhaps a rock wall to carry the upper line around. K-Line F units with Weaver 21" aluminum cars. Beautiful set!

Some outside and some inside corners:

Very nice work overall Pete - especially this waterfront scene!   Beautiful...

The last post prior to Paul bringing it back is Jan 2018 - over 6 years now. Sad to see the many familiar avatars of some who have passed like Dewey and 'Big Boy  4005' with his huge fantastic layout left prematurely under construction. But quite a few others seemed to have 'dropped off' and are gone, hopefully not due to failing health or worse.  Thanks to all of your folks for some beautiful work and wonderful memories!

I really like this effect Mayor Magoo achieved on this building
