We made it!
I don’t have a 101, though.

Yes we did! 138 replies to Jarrell’s Show Me Something thread is quite something, could be a record.

Triple digits could be tough but we shall see.

The request is for 101, Please.

I’ve always liked the blue Chevrons on these Hoppers, loading in at the top - out at the bottom.

I don’t ever remember getting to 105 in the “Show Me” thread before, we done gooooood, this time.

Waving the white flag after four days, here is an early days shot of the layout.

Show me an early days (before trains if possible) shot of your layout.

This view shows the Dog-bones, both right up against the walls.
The far one had a Stub that I intended to lead-off to twin Staging lines.


But it occurred to me that a Sparky or a Plumber could not gain access and so I shortened the Board from the RH wall and kicked it out t an angle, away from the window.

No chance of staging now, but I am lucky to have a spare room for my layout.

Please show me another example of Bare Baseboard days.
Paul.

Well, I don’t have any pictures of the layout before I laid track, but this is the earliest I could find.


The trains were just for the photo, and the whole thing is clearly a mess.
Please show me more early layout pictures!
