What a great thread, I love reading all these stories and remembering back. I got my first train set when I was 4 years old. I came out of my room and there it was setup in the middle of the living room. It had a 4x4 board with outdoor green carpet glued to it. It had an 18" radius circle of...

It is nice to have those pictures as a guide. Can't wait to see the mountains there!

I would go a darker blue, you can get light blue from sky background, but dark blue has to come on the trains and vehicles. Here is the blue I currently like: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=248639&nseq=1 I love that train.

I agree with sgtcarl in my choice. I am always wishing I had more blue on my trains and layouts.

Deano, you did really great job on the Alco! Amost can't believe how wrong it looked in the colors it came in. Those black numbers looked so weird. I love your pictures of the engines, I really like UP's lightning Flag scheme. That area where you take pictures is great, I really like the...

Wayne, That is a great picture. It should be on the cover of something (book, magazine, web site, whatever!) That picture looks like a place I would love to visit! Deano, love that BN1, Burlington Northern ran right next to my grandparents house in Cando, North Dakota, when I was growning up...

My one and only operating F unit. (I have a few Tyco ones sitting in a closet)

Kevin - Great Work on that engine! chessie4155 - Nice over pass scene! Love that Conrail engine! Lester - Cool video! :thumb: I love any and all layout videos! Chessie4155 - Nice Night scene. :thumb: Like your Amtrak cars. Jeffery - Nice b/w picture! Shaygetz - nice hall, have a soft spot for...

In keeping with the theme of "Train barely visible in the picture" :mrgreen: Here is mine for the week, "Train through the trees"

Your hills and background are looking great!:thumb: Every once in a while, when your room is clean :mrgreen:(of course) you should take a picture from your doorway to show the layout in relation to your room with special emphasis to any tracks running to your pillowsign1

I'm glad you're back to working on your layout! Was really fun to watch what you were doing. The rock looks great, love the weeds and shrubs growing around it.

Oh sure, kick team Toyota while we're down!:mrgreen: I have Kyle sitting in the corner sucking his thumb, Tony has packed his bags and keeps saying, "can I go yet?", Denny is saying, "Ha, everyone else on team Gibbs is having my bad luck now." And Dave Blaney is enjoying the scenery before his...

I don't know what the remote and 100 watt bulb are all about, but by saying that, I am adding one to my comment total. :mrgreen:

Kyle, great pictures!:thumb: In the fourth one down, are those skyscapers in the back models or are they on the background? If models, are they scratch built or are they kits and where to get them?

Here is my Rio Grande Picture. If you are wondering most of the Utah Railway GP38-2's are former Southern Pacific GP35's. And Southern Pacific was purchased by, yep you guessed it, the company that owned Rio Grande railroad. Ok, yes I know it is a stretch!

Tom - That tunnel looks good too!:thumb: Jim - Nice GP30's! Tom - Love those Rio Grande's and I really love your yard under the bridge, I like how close the tracks are and how it curves with the terrain! Deano - Love those shots! That second engine reminds me of how those engines looked to me...

Went to look on Micro-trains web site for the conversion pieces, but they don't have Athearn listed. Hopefully someone knows.

Thanks Deano, One of the guys that used to be in the train club built those out of the Kato units, those were great engines, Utah Railway replaced all of the them with Australian SD50s', yet again making it very difficult to model UR. They are up to three gp40's now that are normal, but...

I love that area on your layout Trainnut!:thumb: In keeping with the tunnel theme, here is one of the back tunnels on the H.P.P.C. railroad.

Incredible job and the engine looks great. :thumb: Those numbers look really nice on the engine. All those details on the engine look really nice.Can't wait to see it with a tender and how it all turns out!
