Tour of My Layout

Wow!! Excellent.

I second the WOW factor.  Lee, what a super layout and tour presentation.  One of the best I have seen.  Wish I could have fun running on your layout.  '

Lee, really nice and great detail. Thanks for the pics.

VERY NICE!  Love it!  

Interesting to see the 18 wheeler come out of this!

ROTFLOL!

OCT 25 2013........where's my Delorean!!!!!

But really....cool tour. I recall you working on the boat and lake....seems like a long time ago! I gotta get to work!

We need a video...

Thank you Lee. You have a truly beautiful layout.

If only I had 1% of your talent. 

 Wow indeed! Thanks for a great tour of your layout Lee.

Lee - Awesome! There are so many things that I love about your layout and your approach to it. The realism is top notch. The stories and meaning that you have associated with your scenes makes them come alive. You haven't jammed so much scenery into your space that it looks like a spaghetti bowl. Scenes such as your "open country" are missing on far too many layouts. Lee, you have set your "stage" beautifully and that makes it a pleasure to watch.

Great presentation Lee, I particularly love the Super Streets and fantasy detective idea, very quirky and original.

Fantastic Lee.......................but hav'nt you just written that magazine article?  !!!

MIKE

Very impressive Lee, you've really set the standard here!

lee, you have already done most of the work for a magazine article.

Lee, wonderful job on both your layout and the tour.  I think a magazine article further describing your layout should still be a consideration.  Bo 

Excellent!  Thanks for the pics and the tour.  Lots of good info to think about and a great looking layout.   Thanks again - I'll do the virtual tour again.  -Ken

Nice tour, Lee! I really like the format with the explanatory captions and diagrams and great photo shots!

Great tour Lee! I don't know if I am more impressed with the layout or the presentation!

I, too, was concerned the Oct 25, 2013 dating, meant that I had missed York, which means either I have saved money or that I had missed out on a find.   Really looks well

planned to gain the most from the space available.

Sorry, I must have missed this, but what is it about the Simple Green and Fastrack?

Great work.  It was a pleasure to look at your photos.

Lee,

You have a great looking layout.  All of your effort shows in the finished product.

It cleans the track really well, including gradually taking the top layer of plating off the rails and corroding the rest until it is ruined.  Takes about six weeks of weekly use to see the first effects.

Having carefully gone back and paged through your photos, the little, often humorous

vignettes catch your eye, like the cow on the wrong side of the fence (on the right of

way) but eating grass (always greener on the other side of the fence).  ENGINEERING

has definitely gone into much of this, to get the various things to operate, such as the

magnet boats, and operating street vehicles.   And it seems as if you have accomplished all this in record time, for I have read many of your previous comments about many of the scenes, as you worked on them, and I haven't been on the forum very long.  I think your layout will incentivize some attempts to replicate by others.

Your layout must be a delight to watch with all its moving objects. Thanks

Phenomenal, Lee. I'm another who would like to see a video. 

Great to see the whole thing after following the various projects you have posted over time!

And good that you have changed it to a better track system.

Keep up the great detail always fun to keep building!

Northwest Short line I think has some new drives that might work for the Truck check the website. Small geared set to a motor.

Lee, outstanding.

Super layout and what a great way to give a tour .

Very creative, a work of art.

You should be very proud of this accomplishment.

It will take an other hour of studying all the pictures and reading the

thank you for sharing.

Thanks for taking time for us Lee!

Awesome workmanship.  The narrative storyline just puts it over the top.  I have always looked forward to your posts.  Thank you, Jon

Lee,

Thank you for sharing you layout with us with so much detail.

I enjoyed looking at the pictures and the diagrams.  I think that you were able to share many more pictures than we would have seen had someone photographed your layout for a magazine.

Jim

That's great Lee! The Simple Green billboard is great, too.

A true work of art lee. thanks for posting pictures.

Where did you get the mobile homes?  When I was in the Navy I lived in one when not on an old diesel boat.

Thank You

Ken

I wondered who would notice the joke.  I'll miss York this year, but, in a way, because I have so much to do on this layout, not miss it too much.

Where's ORG's video crew?

Watch out or those fellas from 'Touey & McGouey' might show up first with cameras in hand.....

Lee, what's wrong with the other semis? Maybe adding a tad of weight over the drive axles...

Are the trailers detachable?....maybe a center dump trailer, tanker, logging rig or something different like loosing a trailer and making a dump bed, delivery van or garbage body attachment?

Swap out a conventional cab for a COE{cab over engine}...you like to tinker...right?

I have bult a few 1/25th scale rigs, and my resources are just 1/25th, but my favorite one has pics of alot of old '50s semi trucks for ideas...email or Pm "if" your interested.
