I need some of you to critique my current layout. Only one other modeler has ever seen it in person, so I don’t have a lot of references to guide me for ideas/likes/dislikes, etc. You can check it out at www.trevinocircle.com
The layout is called the Wiscasset, Trevino & Western and is set in the early 1950’s. It is being built in the early George Sellios style (lots of details and overly exaggerated scenes) because that is the kind of modeling I enjoy the most.
Please check it out and tell me what you think…

James – you don’t need critics, you need a standing ovation. You’ve done some magnificent work. It’s absolutely astounding… some of the best modeling work I’ve ever seen. You truly are a top-of-the-class student of Sellios.
Please share your techniques with the rest of us!

Hi James
outstanding work ! I guess you’re modeling HO scale or larger. I wish I could add as much details on my N scale layout. For me you overdid the weathering a bit.

Hi James,
I have to agree with Gerry, Great work! I have always believed that one’s model railroad is one’s little world, do what makes you feel good.

James that’s a Wow with capital W!
Great job, James! The gritty details really make the scenes come alive. How about some photos of your locomotives and rolling stock? Keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks Jim! When I get some more pieces of RS/Motive Power, I’ll put some photos up. I only have a few pieces of rolling stock and my diesel roster only includes an Atlas WM RS-2 and an Atlas NYC RS-11.
My main concentration right now is the structures.

James,
You’ve got my vote! Got pot markers to go with that lobster trap? If you happen to get to the National train show in St Louis this July, stop by area 801, find the vertical lift bridges,and say hi!

One question…in what scale are you modeling?
The layout looks great, though a little dark and drab (this might just be the effects of the camera). However, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I wasn’t alive circa 1950, nor have I ever been in a rundown coastal city, so maybe they were just as drab as you modeled them. The detail is amazing, as is your design and imagination. And to turn it out at the speed that you suggest by visiting your site I say you have a very real gift, and only wi***hat I could see it in person. I will keep an eye on the site for inspiration, thanks and job well done.
