Where on earth does the time go? Before and After shots....

About 8 years seperate these two photos. My not so little train buddy has grown up with the layout.

Feel free to add your before and after shots…

tempus fugit, time flies, i know, feels like i was married yesterday and it was over 30 yrs ago. keep up the good work.

Great Idea!

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

Kimm’s Kanyon, the center idea of the layout and my tribute to John Alen. I hve posted some of the pics before but never in a before/after format.

Wow that cliff scene is incredible. Good work.

What I cant believe is about 5 years ago I had to tear down my 1/2 completed layout to make room for a new baby and next week he starts Kindergarten. He still loves the trains and wants to run the throttle any time I put them on the rails.

Well I started with this

Then I wanted to add grass (thin out door carpet) and buy some HO trees off E Bay.

While I was on the Bay, I bought a HO train set, cheap life like.

Then I was hooked next came buildings.

Then better stuff.

Then I joined this site and with the help of members here (Art Hill truly inspired me) I started to learn how to work with foam.

Then one of these days, I hope to build this!

Boy, that was a lot of Pictures.

and STILL working on adding scenery… The trees are not permanent and are not staying, just put them there to see how they would look. I don’t think they look good in this scene.
