Probably my only half way completed scene on the layout (after only 10 years 
).
Al,
Those structures look amazing !
Seriously,
You did a very nice job detailing these scenes.

Alan G,
I suppose that is a form of self compliment seeing as you built these two structures and a few more on my layout!
Until someone makes a "Scrapple car," I guess this will have to do!

Small Layout...Big Dreams
Here is my contribution
some of my PW cc stuff running on the OCMR Layout -

A recent trip to Cape Canaveral inspired me to get my 175 rocket launcher (a gift from a NASA rocket scientist in my office) on the new layout.
Geyer Equipment Co. taking delivery of an order for Nick's Earthmoving, Coal, and Gravel Company:
In the late 1920s, Southern Pacific rebuilt four of their ca. 1902 4-4-2 Class A-3’s into Class A-6’s. From 1946 until, roughly, 1949, these locomotives were assigned to the Sacramento Daylight. The “Atlantic” type steam engines weren’t streamlined, but two did receive Daylight paint jobs.
Arcing 3rd rail action
Everyone loves to push the (camera flash button) recessed into the layout side!
A blast from the past!
My new city scene is evolving along with the integated elevated EL bridge system.

A Visit To The Choo Choo Barn
Strasburg is within a short drive of York, PA, the site of the semi-annual TCA (Train Collectors Association) meet held at the York Fairgrounds each April and October. It's well worth a side trip, either the day before or after the TCA meet, to experience the sights and sounds of this layout in Strasburg.

Here are some photos from several scenes in the video:
Great shots everyone.
Nice pictures Dave, where did you find the Crown Vic with the glass roof?
Some scenes from my recently completed Food processing plant complex, including grain silo, power station, canning factory, water tower and water recirculating pond. There are steam pipes over the track to the grainery and some conveyors still to add. Finally, I will add more scrub brush to address the "clean grass" look.
The grain silo is kit bashed with a front from Korber and tubes from a recent rug installation, covered in spackeling compound, with kit bashed parts on top to finish it off. The building is an MTH Grainery building, which I am using as the food processing and canning factory.
The powerhouse is a Korber, with a home made generator inside, The transformer is an HO kit, the tank pumping platform is an outside fire escape stair section mounted on beam columns, the piping is leftover runners from various models, painted. The fuel tank is made from sections of drain pipe, painted and weathered. The Silo covers the top of the stair railing, upon which this entire complex sits. You enter the train room by walking up the stairs, from lower left to upper right.
The forground center is a cooling tower mounted over a home made water recirculating pond (cement lined), which was cut from foam using the Tippi hot wire cutter.
This complex uses a lot of bits and pieces left over from other projects. I added some lighting to make the area look better when running at night. The design is modular, so I can remove everything in pieces, to do any maintnenance work on the track or access the wiring. There is a control pannel on nearby, with much wiring running near this complex.
Another 2011 Christmas layout memory 
A legendary 'burgh institution:
A project I've been working on for a while. Need to make the decals to finish it off.
Got rid of some small bookcases that I had been using to display trains here and finally built some display shelves.
The new granary complex.....
Finally ready to install this drumhead in the stairway going down from my train room to the first level. You will see it as you look straight ahead going down the stairs. I will post another photo when it is installed.
Not a very good photographer but the crown vick which BTW is one of my favorites i picked up at York this past October, it is a Yat Ming model.
Very nice vignette, Thomas.
Two from my friends Lionel stable......
Picked up a few things in the past week and a half, some from the Forum some from eBay, and finally got a Baltimore Transit Company PCC Streetcar in the color scheme I remember riding on in the 50's and early 60's growing up.
