Somewhere I saw photos of Bill Nelson's layout and I was a happy camper to find them. Great photos of a very nice layout with good scenery. Maybe I'll get lucky and find it again.
edit; I found them on page 3.

M My last layout looked like this.

The large hill seen is gone now except for a section on the left you can't see on this photo.

The section of the hill which is to the left see behind the Big-Boy is still there with its tunnel entrance. A lot of plaster had to be added to reshape the hill.UP Big Boy  on curv - L.JPG1_-_copy.jpg

Here is what the layout looks like now with its shrunken hill.

What you see when you walk in.

This is the back side of the hill at Pen Haven. The name it had was Mine HilI. Now need to remake the tunnel portals on the Penn Haven side. Haven't worked that out yet.

Here is the new Mine Hill area that wraps around to Pen Haven. Thinking about how to separate the two places. I may need to put in a few mine entrances on this side..
