Tom,
Nice photos, as usual. What grade on the downslope in the first set of photos? I am trying to have several graded lines in a 20x24 layout.
Thanks,
dennis
Spankybird, how big is your layout???
Here’s my contribution to Sundays pictures…
Dwiemer – If I recall correctly, its about 3 ½ % grade. It was based on the old Lionel trestle set. The down grade is on its own block with lower voltage to prevent run-a-way trains.
1862General – This layout is 10’ x 20’. I also have the second Circus Layout which is 5’ x 8’. Very nice pic of your layout.
I wish I had that much room for such a large layout! lol… Mines “L” shaped with the back side being the furthest length at 11’, left side is 5’ and right side is 7’.
Houdy,
What is the size of your layout?
Beautiful shots! Thanks. I’m sitting here wondering why it took me so long to figure out that O gauge was the way to go! I spent all those years knocking myself out trying to create super realistic HO layouts and yet somehow those colorful, action packed pictures look much more ‘real’ than my best rolling vistas. The larger scale is easier to get good closeups of, true but despite the ‘toy train’ factor, they just look better.
HI folks
Nice pistures, as usual.
Here is my hand-made tender, built with brass sheet.

cheers
Andre.

That is not my tender, it is Andregg1’s tender, because I do not have the skills to build something like that.
jonadel, are those the new Lionel boxcab electrics, or are they MTH?
Great job folks. Houdy, that is looking great. Can depend on pdj for some good tin plate. Everyone should be proud. TMCC, probably will not get ot decal that switcher until tomorrow. Then I will post pictures. [;)]
Not letting it get to me!!![:(!][:(!][:(!]
8X14, It has 3 loops all connected, 2 on the main table and the outter most goes up to the reverse loop you can see ,down to the main table, and then down again under the table to another reverse loop.
