I finally finished the clouds on the layout.  Decided I was done and not to do anymore.

hello every one...these are some pics of the latest addition to my layout.they were made for my "Phoenix Plastics" industry by Elvin Howland of layout concepts ( layoutconcepts@yahoo.com) i have contracted Elvin to do all the tanks on my layout. to date, Elvin has made 50+ tanks for me & i am very happy & pleased with the outcome. Elvin also scratch builds structures.

When I started to build my layout four years ago, I used Atlas flextrack by default simply because it was the only product of its type that was readily available in local hobby shops.  At the moment, however, no local hobby shop has the Atlas product in stock.  All contend that it is not in production.

Which has led me to explore flextrack manufactured by Peco and Micro Engineering.

Yesterday I attended the so called Silvester Layout from a friend of mine.
Every Year between Christmas and the first or second weekend in January he
held operating sessions with a modular layout at his home.
Here are some pictures and a film I made from yesterday.

Wow! Almost a year since I posted here.. I need to post more often. 

Here's my latest project... 

I recently upgraded the lights to 100 watt "daylight" CFL's.

I'll post some before photos soon.  Check some out here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.541690012525127.136356.100000524003557&type=1&l=8f3409280d

General train related Photo's, and Videos, that I find interesting.

This weekend it was 8 degrees and I have over a foot of snow in the yard.  Wife didn't want to go outside, so I built the benchwork for my layout!  What fun.  It is just temporarily held together with clamps as I've got to finish the clouds on the backdrop.
