After a few weeks of work, I was able to get the old layout down & start on another new one. I built this new, smaller one in our office room. I tried to make it a fun layout for the kids. Below are the first pics of the new setup. Shelves will go in under the board once I'm done w/ the wiring down there. One cool thing about this layout, is my son picked out every accessory that I put on it.

AFter a few days of running them & thinking about the track plan, I made a few changes to the track plan. Moved the town to the center of the layout & decided to add an upper level. The crane will wind up on a spur off the upper track. I felt the 2 tracks & all accessories on the lower level was too cluttered. This gives a little more room for scenery & opens things up a bit more.

WALT RAPP  thanks for the good laugh I'm a senior and have moments occasionally but thought I'd missed from 2017 to 2107 whew and yes I'm kidding we all make typos no biggie but still my sense of humor kicked in.

always  enjoy seeing your Christmas layout photos a treat throughout the year.

is the layout still up or?

Last day of the modular layout and the endow the winter train display season 2017-2018.

On our last day we were joined by a special young lady who received a Pennsy LionChief engine and some freight cars. She ran the train better than Gilly and I ran ours.....we were responsible for a few major crashes .....

Two quick shots of the Texas Eagle coming off the Joint Frisco-MoPac White River bridge heading north to Hollister/Branson on the White Rive Sub; the Eagle was diverted from the old St. Louis, Iron Mountain, and Southern main to St. Louis by a track rehab project.  The diversion adds several hours to the run, but who would complain about spending more time on such a beautiful and luxurious train?

The first photo catches T&P Mountain #907 just off the bridge and starting to learn into the curve which borders an Ozark farm near the tower and junction at Notch.  The Eagle will thunder past the tower catching orders on the fly.  As with the photo from last week, part of the town of Marmaros can be seen in the background, including the head of the hoist house of Lucky Silver Mine, Shaft #1.  

Taken a spit second later but with a telephoto lens, the second photo catches the engine "up close and personal" just at the grade crossing that leads to the farm.  In the haze on the right, we see some of the fall colors adorning the Ozark hills to the west, muted by the distance.
