First Post...and Photos!


I grew up in Southern Ohio, near Jackson...which was, for all intents and purposes, the southern hub of the DT&I.

This evening I worked on weathering that water tower...here's a couple of photos, as well as random others...I tried to get them lit better for you!

Very Very Good, Shaun (thanks for the light:D ). I am jealous that you found use of a 90deg crossing. I bought one, two years ago, and never have been able to design one in...want to buy one, hahahaha!
 
That overgrown track was quite the challenge! It is, afterall, a small layout, so the track had to be operational, and I wanted to look like it was used infrequently...so that's what I came up with! The branch where the 90 degree crossing is will be sceniced when I build the frame for the layout, and will be fully interlocked with signals. I received my decorative street lights today for the stores and depot...pictures to come soon!
 
great "start"

Shaun: those pics are great and of course the layout too! Man that's a dream start in this great forum.
About the 90 degree crossing:I think I found one on a part of Rex's layout, or what's left of it..?? lol

spoiled

Shaun: The streetlamps and stationlamps looking great as well as your pictures.:eek:
Ha ha don't show to much of them and left something for the coming months....otherwise we get spoiled to much:D

Shaun, the street lights really make your layout come alive. If you don't mind sharing, what is your method for connection to the power under the layout? That is always such a pain, I usually avoid adding more lighting to mine.:)

Oh, before I forget, we have a "weekend photo fun" (WPF) thread every weekend. Post anything: your best, your construction, your funnies, even prototype. Anything relative to MR. (and sometimes not:D )
 
I use a main bus wire under the layout and then those lights actually have a socket that you place in the buildings. Thelights pull right out...it's very handy! Thanks for all the comments! I'm thinking that will probably be it for pics for a while...I have to save some money back for the next project. My, how we have an expensive hobby!
