Well I think I am finally happy. My minimum radius for my mainline is now 36 inches. Huge for N gauge but I love it.

Hi Robin,
Thats as realistic looking as it can get. You done a beautiful job. Your logging camp looks great in front of that beautiful backdrop. May I ask where you got the backdrop. Ron

Ron, The bacdrops come from
Backdrop Warehouse
Here is a helicopter view. It shows the bend in the track much better.

Robin THAT LOOKS GREAT!!!!! Your min. radius is wider than my layout 
! Great picture, is there a rock quarry going in the foreground there?

Thanks everyone. The foreground is supposed to be ranch country and that is going to be a creek. The spur will be for loading cattle from a small stockyard.
Fantastic Robin !!!!
Even when we are lucky enough to have plenty of space most of us still squeeze in as much railroad as possible.
Your photos prove just how rewarding and realistic the results can be if that temptation is resisted.

Thanks John and Charlie. This is what I always wanted but seemed to have trouble acheiving. This is my third attempt in this location and so far I am happy. Its hard to go with less when your mind says add track here and there. I learned my lesson well with my last two layouts.
Hi Robin , Third time lucky??
Very well done I know how hard it is to get it right,, doing it in three is an achievement

Ida perfered (Everyone knows Ida) if them mountains were buildings just outside the "big city"- but- really great!
I love the grade change uP! I can look straight down a 3 mile straightaway (is that a word???!!!) of track and see what you've photographed.
Nice work- something to emulate on muh road (with a big city surrounding- of course).
Thanks for the pics!

WOW! That's what N scale is all about. Long realistic trains; long realistic curves.
What a wonderful "open" feel it has. I'm glad you resisted any urge to fill it with rails. Very inspiring (HO and O scalers, eat your hearts out).
