here are a few shots of my layout. Its not cleaned or detailed yet and still needs weathering and toughups. A few track work left to fix for the dcc but its on its way.
You will find a lot of diffrent railroads using this track. Someware out in the midwest IL we are making our way towards Chicago. IC coal trains switch at a small coal mine, C&NW local freights to the grain mills. EJ&E passing through to a industry. up top a staging yard to hold the next local move or let the local park for the through freight. down low there is a small siding to allow passing freights. the tunnel enters the wall on the lower level and exits above. In the yard there is a spur to reverse a train if need be...
Fine looking layout you got there, appears to have a midwestern flavor to it!
Looks great with a lot of operational potential. If I may make a suggestion, try shooting your photos with room light and longer exposure rather than using flash. It will show off your work better.
Man, that looks awesome! Jim, looks to me like the lights WERE on, but not very strong.
Josh, yes, it does look like the lights were on but some of those shots were clearly done with a flash. My suggestion still stands.
Looks like a fine layout !!!!
I did use a flash as I was just taking a few quick shots. I dont have overhead lighting and the room is very dim at night. All I have is a lamp in the corner.
that and its messy right now I diddent feel the need to show of my dust LOL
thanks for the kind words

Josh, yes, it does look like the lights were on but some of those shots were clearly done with a flash. My suggestion still stands.
I understand. I think the recommendation would be better suited as, get some brighter lighting, THEN skip the flash... Incandescent lights are not well suited to model railroad, nor any sort of, indoor photography.
I run 3 florescent, and one CFL when I shoot on my module sections here. The 16" florescent's cost about $20 at Wal*Mart, and plug into a normal outlet.
Very impressive. Keep up the good work.
Great layout! Do you know who made the truss bridge?
I Belive Its An Atlas Bridge?... I Used (2) To Make A Longer Span
Very nice looking layout you have,keep up the good work and pics.
