Very nice to see this gem by you, Alan, and always glad to see your postings of your wonderful craftwork on this forum.

And now that you have told us your secret, that you "always build what I see in my mind," we can readily understand why everything you have put your hands and imagination to are so successful and enjoyable.

Very Merry Christmas, to you, the children, and your wife.

I'm proud to know you.

Great Allan! It may not be accurate to the time frame but is it accurate to scale? And What scale is it?

Thanks for keeping this thread going this year. 2017 has been really busy with lots going on in my household and with Train club activity.  Am planning a layout expansion on my home pike, to commence sometime in the spring so should have some material to contribute here.

Merry Christmas to all

In honor of my Uncle Eddie who died in the late 90's are some photos of his last layout in Florida. I can remember as a kid visiting him in NJ going downstairs and seeing this huge HO layout, especially the work table with the lathe. Back then if you wanted an locomotive you had to 'roll your own'.

Uncle Eddie even posed for an advertisement for UniMat in the Feb 1957 Model Railroader magazine (see attached pdf file).

Merry a Christmas to All and Happy New Year to!
