My New Layout

[Johne230]

Thanks lasm I am thinking of making a center support for the over pass you really cant tell in the photo but it looks a little long not to have a center support.

Have to agree, a centre support would finish it nicely. Great looking work though.

I been fooling around with some guard rails around the mine area and installed a house on the layout.Oh yes I finished the lumber yard

The house is in need of a major renovation

Nice work, the fence not being poker straight looks good.

My first town building went up.No windows in yet waiting to get some decals for them,anybody know of any good window advertisement decals.

I put some of these dry transfer decals on my buildings. The eat sign went in the window of my cafe. Some of their other stuff might work, too.

You could probably print something out on the printer and paste it to the inside, probably take way longer.

How many buildings are you putting in the downtown?

I saw the decals woodland has not much of a selection.As far as the number of buildings I think I can get 6 in maybe more I have 2 more to put together so once I get them on the layout I will have a better idea.I am also looking for another industry to put next to the lumber yard.

You are quite the discerning customer. Here are some other signs that may be of interest, deending on your era:

Towards the middle are some that would work on a window.

Check out some of their other pages as well. I have some of their detail products and they are pretty nice.

One building at a time. Grandt Line does some nice windows.

Thanks Guys appreciate the compliments in the next few months the layout may be moving or get dismantled,I just put the house up for sale and we are looking for a new place so depending on the size of the new house we will se how it will impact the layout maybe I will get lucky and be able to expand or better yet go to HO scale.We will see!

 

[logandsawman]

Good attitude, Johne; when we moved I just kept on going with building stuff and it went on the new one. Nothing ventured, nothing gained--

John,

Buy a house with a basement or large Attic - NOTHING else matters !
