Sunday Scenic Showcase December 27,2020

Started on the port area:

wbg pete I really like your layout.  It seems to be simple and complex at the same time.  All the "green" just mesmerizes me and makes me look harder at everything you have.  Do you have your track plan documented on OGR somewhere?  Would you be willing to share?

Thanks!

Ron

My car shop replacement is now in place and mostly complete:

Pete/Norm,

Your work is truly inspiring.

Thanks a lot Alan! 😀

I made some scrap metal loads for a few gondolas.

WOW!  Outstanding as always, Norm.  I couldn’t agree more with what Alan said above...truly inspiring work.  Thanks for sharing with us.

Alan, fantastic station. Pete keep those pictures coming. A really neat layout. As Ron asked, it would be great to see your track plan some time. Looking forward to your updates and additions. Norm, always inspiring. Really like your placement and all the details. Rail, great variety of scrap loads, very nice.

Alan thank you for starting this thread each Sunday. We have so many talented and inspiring members in this wonderful forum.

I completed my 12’-by-8’ model railroad in 2004 and haven’t changed anything since. There is much that could be improved but it is difficult to revise anything now and I enjoy running trains so don’t want to disturb it. It was the subject of an article in OGR Run 214 – April/May 2006. These photos show the front corner of the layout which is populated by a cluster of buildings and people. I built all structures on the layout with nothing pre-assembled.

Great structures, scenes and photos, Melgar. I particularly like the green platform the man is standing on in your 2nd from the bottom photo.

Also, your use of color is outstanding. Arnold

I totally agree with all of Tom's comments. Arnokd

Wow, Just some outstanding work this week guys! Norm, Pete, I really appreciate your craftmanship.

Here is some progress on my layout, a bit more detail on the new church, the addition of the RCA dog building based on one in Albany NY, and a switch tower.

Love your RCA Dog Building, Rich. My wife, who is originally from the Albany, NY area, is familiar with it. Arnold

Rich, the RCA dog reminds me of the one as you entered Baltimore City via Green street many years ago. It’s now a casino.
