Here are some shots from the old Fenwick branch taken at Armstrong Coal & Coke Tipple #2.

Very nice. Looks like back up in the patches somewhere. You've got the look down just right, including the company houses.

Thanks. That layout is gone now, but all of the buildings are saved. The backdrop hills...nothing more than dark green construction paper. The cloud backdrops were from Yankee Junction. The pics were taken early on after the scenery was added. The Fenwick branch was predominantly a shelf layout, with an island balloon loop which went through a wall into the second bedroom. All the track was kept within reach and switching was one of the things I wanted. Switching Armstrong was fun. Fenwick proper was interesting too, but alas, I never any got any photos before the layout came down.

I managed to find 2 more shots. Notice the Midland Road boxcar on the supply track. It was part of a 3-car set offered by my NMRA Division.
