I got the camera out today and snapped a few photos.

I found it!

I seem to remember someone had a layout with some caves (maybe Indian) out in the desert somewhere. Does anyone remember that? Someone I know is doing a school project that is similar and I was wanting to show them the layout pictures.

Oh as far as your question about when people are over, Nazgul, yes they are pretty amazed at how big it is. I tell them that there are a lot bigger ones out there. I think I've reached my max as far as size, I could expand a bit more, but I plan on adding/improving detail to what I already...

That looks sharp!

I don't really have a track plan. I originally did mine on paper and laid it out on the table and made adjustments. I attempted to draw up a quick on. I hesitate to post it because it is VERY poor, but here it goes: It's basically four independent tracks. A - Passenger Train running the...

I used what I think is called "L girder". 2x2's cross braced with 1x3's. Then 1x4's attached to 1x2's in an "L" shape to support the table top which was 3/4" plywood. I think it is a fairly standard design, I got it out of a book. It was very light weight (until I put the plywood on it)...

I use an old tooth brush and alcohol.

A few shots from farther back.

Here are a few construction photos.

Looking good!

Here are a few more photos. The last one shows the big mountain after I have started to add some ground cover.

Most of the town is from a "Gone with the wind" collection my wife had. It was the correct scale so I figured I'd put it to use.

Thanks for the comments. I always enjoy looking at everyone's layouts so I figured I should stop being lazy and post a few. I wasn't sure if the mountain in the last picture was tall enough, so I didn't want to put any ground cover or trees on it. I made it a bit taller today and will post a...

I've been working on this layout for a while now so I thought I'd post a few photos.

No, I was just using my hands to hold everything. I got 4 more done. I started to stick the horn into a piece of foam to hold everything still.

Does anyone know where I can purchase MT 2001 couplers that are pre assembled? I have found the 2004 assembled, but I need the 2001 long shank. After 3 hours I have managed to assemble 1 of the 2001's. It's not that I lose the spring so much as I cannot get it to stay in position while I...

Thanks! I see the l screw and little nut on each end of the frame. I'm pretty sure I understand how to install the new truck now!

Yes, the Atlas trucks can come off when you don't want them. I'm wondering though if the Kato trucks are designed to be pulled straight out.
