You're doing a great job so far!

When this baby hits 80mph you're gonna see some serious s***!

That gandy dancer allways looked like two guys playing a piano to me. I used to run mine off unfinished sections of elevated track when i was little, never broke.

Can we see an overhead shot of everything thats been done so far?

I think I'll be getting the Spectrum Heavy, painted and unlettered version. Trainland has them for about $110

I have joined a club, and there layout is well, large. After talking to one of the guys there he told me that if I was going to buy a engine to run on the layout my best bet would be a big steamer or a few road switchers. I'd much rather have a steam engine then some transition era road...

How does it conduct? It looks like the tops of your rails have paint on them, or that could just be the mysterous camera gods shadow.

Trainwhiz, thats some superb track painting there. Looks like those sidings dont see much traffic.

Got a life like SW7 to pull 33 bachmann plus cars with metal wheels on an old layout (That was pretty much my entire roster give or take a few walthers cars), When i went over the crossover to the upper line, the poor things wheels slipped like crazy untill it was just grinding rail.

You're a cool dad :thumb: That reminds me of my first layout. Those Lifelike and Bachmanns work good for a while but after a while your gonna want something a little smoother. Life Like proto 1000 and 2000 engines are wonderful running and arent much of a shot in the pocket (Just watch the...

I remember reading an acount of a PC passenger train losing its A-B consist of F-units, so the train was powerless, and steam generatorless (This was during the winter mind you). They sent a pair of SD9's to haul the train the rest of the way, the passengers we're hours late and bone cold...

How about "The harrisburg clipper: We promise nothing with break down this time, maybe"

Swift ninja-like movements with a bambo stick.

Raplh. Is the dim/focused on one area light effect intentional? because it really adds to the drearyness of the whole urban penn central setting.

Cardflappin' double post.

Woodland scenics track risers.

Turned out the metrolink was running cab car forward. F59's could handle a jeep but it sent those cars flying.

HO scale, 4x8 with a possible extenstion of one of the sides if possible
