Scott,

VERY nice! I’m impressed with your wonderfully realistic scenes. Nice work.

#7

Like! Where did you get that balloon stack?

#8

my kind of modeling!

more pics please!

#9

I got the stack at a train show about 15years ago. have not seen them anywhere since then. The railroad was outside. I have moved since these photos were taken. I plan to break ground this spring on a larger layout. The layout only had 350ft of track and dog boned over itself…

Great work!!!

If I hadn’t seen the switch machine I would have thought you threw in a prototype picture.

#11

Wow those cars look real with the weathering. Nice work. Keep us posted on your new layout when you start.

#12

ONLY 350’ of track he says…nice…only one thing missing…you must have a Shay to make a REALLY outstanding layout…

#13

That’s not a switch machine, that’s an irrigation acces box… :slight_smile:

Later,

wait a min! that photo above is the same photo I’ve been studying in one of my GRR ‘books’ Great to see you’re still around, enjoyed your published photos while learing about the hobby back in the day!

ETA: (edit to add)

Page 94 of Getting Started in Garden Railroading by Allan W. Miller (2001)

Which, might I add, is still a great read and source of inspiration!
