Yard switchers are a necessary part of railyards and I’m guessing most of you use the diesel powered type; however, Spanky and Tom prefer those that have these 4 attributes:
After reading the post last week about the guy that hides all his trains at his mothers, I just had to share what my wife (art major) of 25 yrs. worked on on her days off last week.
She finished the plaster and painted the mountain. She almost finished the backdrop painting around the walls, about 6 ft to go…
This is the mountain that she built from scratch.
And finally here is a Williams Dash-9 that she bought me for Christmas.
Payback will be in a few weeks in the form of hauling manure,garden tilling, erecting the greenhouse etc. for her garden. Thats ok, we both get what we want that way…Tim
But WAIT WHAT DO I HEAR? IT looks like the new K-Line SHAY? Oh NO…
The new SHAY looks and sounds and runs GREAT. Can’t wait till YORK to get some of that MEGA SMOKE (can’t find it around here) then really see or not see it run?
ENJOY?

Trying to add photos of my mesa and hills. Hope this works better, Tim
This one used Lifelike’s Mountain Paper - I was less than impressed with this stuff when I followed its instructions but I must admit it holds its shape well. It covers a series of boxes that I cut out.
This one shows a small mountain / hill that I made out of a wine box and it’s cardboard inserts along with some cardboard flats against the backdrop. The Lionelosi Special sits at the station in the foreground.
The is just an overview of the layout looking ‘west’ from about half-way.
