Ready for open house

Looks great Clem. Keep the photos coming. BTW are the Detroit Three Railers coming to barnstorm your layout soon? 

I was hoping to have  the D3R here soon.

Clem

Looking good Clem.  I should be over on Sunday.  Alright if I bring some steam to run?

Dan

Dan please do!

I think that would be great, by sunday my crew will be tired.

Clem

Clem, it looks ready to me.  I like that tree house.  Have you seen the guy on TV who builds giant tree houses?

Clem,

Really nice layout.

Is that Tree House Custom Built ?

Thank you

Good evening Brian

The tree house is a k-line product.

Mark

I have heard of that show or saw part of an episode. I don't have TV.

Great looking layout.

Beautiful job, Clem. Sure looks like you are ready for the open house. I particularly liked the water feature and the water fall. Very realistic.

Your layout looks great! Is that the Korber power house building I see in one of your pictures? I have been looking to get one of those. Please post pics of your get together.

Looks awesome Clem! I wish I could be there. I really like the water scene too.

Beautiful layout and detail. Great job.

It looks great..excellent stuff.

Nice work, Clem!  Looks like you put a lot of time into your "empire"!  I love your paved roads - what did you use??

Paul

Thank you Formnites

the asphalt road in downtown is three coats of stealth jet black paint on top of good, grade A plywood. Had to sand between each coat.

Good evening 

Open house is over, what a great time. Lots of kids and train people. Had our share of derailments and two collisions, nothing that caused damage I think. Had some trouble with the DCS remotes, seem to lock up and do nothing. Don't know what caused that. The lash ups seemed to work well. A lot of positive comments, no negatives. Everyone liked the size of O gauge and the scenery was a big hit. Lot of questions about the track, they really liked it.(gargraves and ross turnouts). I think a lot of people where thinking post war lionel and a 4x8 sheet of plywood. LocoDan showed up with his 999 and passenger car consist, that really looked good on this display!! Thankyou Dan

Clem - Had fun running on your layout.  Interesting running four trains at once on one giant folded loop.  I guess I need to check the drawbar connection after transporting locos.  Also, the direction button was unreliable on a couple of the remotes, caused one minor collision.

The crowds were consistent and were enjoying the layout.

And Train-Wreck Bob was nowhere around.

Clem,

I'm glad the open house went well and everyone had fun.  Yes, I'm sure the uninitiated saw a layout that was nothing like they had envisioned. 

Really nice layout, Clem! Keep them photos coming.
