    New Layout Pictures

    Great work Josh. I love all of the industries that you have on your layout. Very cool.

    Began HO layout, my first adult one.

    Gil, you almost nailed my car with that pic. My '65 is the exact same color as that '67 fastback you showed - Silver Blue. Man, I love that color - and you don't see it very often either! I have the same rims too, except the center caps on mine are red. And my '65 is a coupe, not fastback...

    Began HO layout, my first adult one.

    Sounds great Gil. Good luck with it. I hope to start my first layout EVER this fall. I am finishing a gut remodel on the 2nd bathroom for Mrs. Big and my kids. Once that is done, I have hopes to get some work done on my '65 Mustang that has been gathering dust for the past 3 years (I would...

    Kitchen Layout

    There is a little diner close to where I live that is called "The Choo Choo Grill". It has an O scale Lionel train that runs in a circle from the kitchen, out along the big U shaped counter, and then back into the kitchen. The flatbed cars carry the burgers, hot dogs, etc. The kids LOVE...

    Kinda rustic pictures

    Looking good Tom! :thumb: I gotta get my bathroom remodel finished for Mrs. Big, cause then I can start my benchwork. I get both jealous and inspired watching everyone's work progress.

    Durango & Silverton Ride

    Great stuff! I certainly do remember how sooty you are after riding the D&S narrow gauge in one of the open air cars! sign1 I have pictures of my ride somewhere in the house - it was a couple years ago.

    Just for laughs

    Found this and thought others....

    Gotta agree with Stripes on all counts. My father-in-law used to live in Durango, and we would do visit him every year. The four corners area has a lot of varied, interesting things to do. Mesa Verde, Wolf Creek Pass, Moab, Monument Valley, Sante Fe, etc. are all within driving distance, and...

    Bwa-hahaha - it's me again

    Looks like MadCow1 won a tight race, edging out the good Doctor by a mere 2 votes. However I must say that everyone that viewed that thread was a winner, as there was some truly great pictures in there. Congrats to all the members that submitted photos to vote on, they all were great! :thumb:

    Would like comments on track plan

    Better picture Just saw that that picture is a little small :oops:. Hopefully this one will be better, although I did have to turn the picture on its side so that it would upload. So the foundation wall is now on the right side of the picture.

    Would like comments on track plan

    Revised Plan Andrew and Russ, thank you so much for the comments. I think I have taken your suggestions to heart, and have modified my plan accordingly (see below). Andrew, per your comment regarding the reach, I turned the layout 90 degrees. I have to remove a small wall in my shop now, but...

    Would like comments on track plan

    Hey all. I am still navigating through the various forums on The Gauge, and realized this would be the best place to post this. I originally started a thread on the HO forum http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=25514, but maybe here is better. Anyway, I generated the layout below that I...

    got two new locos today

    Nice loco Jeffrey. Watching people get new loco's makes me jealous. I am trying to use getting a new loco (or more) as a motivation/reward to get my benchwork, trackwork and scenery done. By the way, is that some new fangled water tower behind your engine shed in the picture of the loco on...

    Introduction and comments please

    I like that idea Spawn, I like the idea of branching off to a separate staging area. That new plan that I put up had a branch in the upper left corner that ended at some industry - I thought that it could be extended in the future should I want to expand the layout. With regard to the...

    Introduction and comments please

    Got the files Spawn, I downloaded Winrar, then opened your compressed files in Righttrack. I don't think either of those layouts will fit size wise in my shop area, as they are both much bigger than the area I have planned for this (I do like your plans to Go Big though!). That's why my...
