Spectators' Favorite Layout Feature?

That seems to be true for some reason. I have no clue why. Bridges and grade crossings seem to be #2 and #3.

Yeah.

Very Freudian.

Oooo..sounds like one can save all that money on bouncing and bobbing operating

"accessories" with a simple static display of formers covered with plaster.  Works for

me.

HEY HIRAILER,

 

What is bouncing and bobbing about a tunnel?

Mwb you crack me up! 

Martin you should write a book of 1 liners.... too funny.

I'm with Matt...bridges also.

Well I like a good tunnel, ye and then a bridge, its all verity for the observer.   Stephen     (cTr...Choose the Right)

Rip. I found this pic recently and immediately thought of your layout.........

 

 

Hey Industrial Models,

 

Yep...that sure looks like the Mojave!  (Except my track has no ballast under it, and I have added vegetation since this picture.)

This brings back memories.  Not from the Santa fe specifically, but driving back from Hesperia and coming down the El Cajon pass.  Spent many days trackside with dad along there watching the trains wind through.  Also, living in central AZ, we have lots of rail line that looks similar.  Little to no vegetation and lots of dirt.   We do have saguaro though.

Forgot to add.  I don't know what they would be called here, but Easter Eggs are what they're called in computer world.  Little things that don't belong but most don't even see.   I think I saw a picture somewhere of a layout that had some zombies on it.  Most people would probably have never even noticed them.  Pretty much looked like part of the rest of the scenery. But when you look really close......

 

Mr. McQ,

 

There is no "El Cajon" Pass.

Mr. RIP,

I understand.  You are correct.  Not being native to the area, but also being aware of El Cajon CA, I mispoke. 

Not from the Santa fe specifically, but driving back from Hesperia and coming down the (el) Cajon pass.

look better?

 

Yes, McQ, thank you!
