I only had part of Sunday to play but I laid a few more ties and some rough draft landscaping.
The plan is slowly coming together!
Laid some rail too but found a minor kink in my curve (not the kind of result you want to point out)…doesn’t affect running at all, just kind of curve, straight, continue curve…and it is on the back side, against the wall, so I may just live with it for now.
She has a kink on her backside? Ya gotta remember this is a fambly site.

As Curly used to say, " Oh, a wise guy eh?"
I used my TrainLi Duo-railbender to remove some kinks from my railroad. And Steve, if she has a kinky backside… yes, this is supposed to be family rated here.

Trying to show some progress photos but having trouble again.
The above address is the location of my photo but the add photo function doesn’t see it for whatever reason.
Anyway, the rest of the photos are uploaded to my album, PR & K South Western Railroad.
Got a good start on the southern loop, an inner loop to the north for logging and/or mining, and some more definitive landscaping, ie: planting boxes.
On the road for the next two weekends so I was glad to have a nice day today.
Your link was not the actual link for the picture, it was a link to an album…
You needed to get the link for the picture itself… also the picture was WAYYYY too wide, 1200 pixels, so I scaled it down to the recommended 800 pixels.

Thanks Greg. And btw, I always scale them down before posting.
So the /photo_id/110732 at the end of the address does not reference a specific photo link?
I assumed it was and there was some glitch.
I used the same procedure as before. Open the photo, copy the location, paste in the add photo pop up. But this time nothing.
Usually it will paste and show me the size where I can scale it down, but that didn’t happen.
I guess tomorrow I will try again on my pc at my shop.
Twice edit, cuz it’s late…
So clicking the link you used first does not take me to just a single picture, but to a page with the picture and other pictures and says it is an album…
so the best way is to get to a screen with the picture alone, and THEN right click and “copy image location”…
You were probably so used to seeing that album configuration, you missed this one, it’s easy to do…
Regards, Greg
I thought I had devised a way to use my phone to post photos but apparently it didn’t like me trying to be clever.
The “copy image location” doesn’t show up anymore even when viewing the sight as desktop instead of mobile. I was seeing a “copy link location” which, as Greg has explained, is the entire page and not just the photo. Not surprisingly, I was confused.
So I surrender and will log onto the pc, as I am now, in order to share with you guys.
Anyway…
A shot of the south loop under construction. That’s about a 10 ft diameter. A bit smaller than the north end, but I plan on a right hand turnout just before the curve, heading down the south wall and that will eat up about as much of that corner as I want to take. I still need some yard for the dog to run amok(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif).
And the north end is progressing bit by bit.
There are now three finished planters and transferred a small tree to the back corner.
The inner loop is small, about 6 ft diameter but will most likely only see small logging type engines. There will be two industry turnouts. The far north end of the small loop will have a small area to park hoppers or gondolas. I think I can park three small cars here.
On left a curved turnout will run parallel heading south in between the main line far left and the new loop returning south. This will be another parking area for similar cars.
I think I will eventually model a mining operation at the north end with a small mine entrance and some cars which would be loading up the parked gondolas.
Could be fun to have a small yard loco running the cars from the loading area at the top to the longer parking track, building up a train for the larger loco to take around the layout. Then have a drop off at some other point.
