Hello Spookman. Lester pretty much summed it up with his reply. For instance, on my layout which will be 12 feet long, by 2 feet wide, I have incorporated quite a bit of activity. I have 6 seperate industries that recieve goods by rail, as well as an interchange track, a small 3 track yard and...

Lester, I think it is a great idea you have with this thread. My layout at the moment is only a 2x8 switching layout, however, I am in the process of adding another 2x4 section which will incrrease my layout size to 2x12. As soon as all the sawdust settles, I am going to add a overall shot of my...

Miles-nice photo. Do you have any other pics of that area of your layout? It appears to be a rather busy industrial area which is right up my alley. In any case, nice work! Stuart

Thanks for all the nice feedback everybody. I had some computer issues the past couple of weeks and have been somewhat of a stranger on the forum, that didn't however stop me from getting some nice modeling done in the interim. Wayne, I agree, the tooling on those old MDC/Roundhouse kits were...

Thanks for everyones input, I am looking forward to actually planting these buildings which will expand my small switching layout by four feet. Wayne, you are correct about the docksider, they plied their trade along the cramped street trackage around Pratt Street. There is actually a great old...

Calflash brings up a good point. I should have pointed out that the buildings are actually going to have street trackage in front of the buildings. This was a common prototype practice in Baltimore in the area I am trying to replicate- Guilford Ave, Pratt street {near todays inner harbor}, Key...

Still no luck for me either, I will hold tight and hope for the best.

Are the pictures not showing up? I uploaded them directly to The Gauge directly. They are not from anoher host site. Is anyone else having troubles seeing the pictures? Dern it...these were some of my favorite pics yet

I couldn't resist using the trusty old docksider to deliver some idler cars to switch out the car floats of the various piers. I have really tried to use industries and scenery to allow me to backdate my layout at will by simply switching out the rollingstock and various vehicles scattered about...

Thought some of you might like to see the business district that will be a transition area to the wharves proper. There will not be too much in the way of switching, but the ornate iron front buildings should provide some nice contrast and help to smooth the transition from scene to scene. These...

Shaygetz- Those are some fine looking cars you have there. And thanks for explaining some of your weathering techniques. Great job. Stuart

I can almost smell the salt air from here! The coloring of the waves with that grayish-blue green looks perfect. If you do not mind divulging, what medium did you use for the water? Stuart

The view "through the canyon" is amazing, I love the speed restriction signs as well. Wayne, that ocean sure looks impessive...are there any ground level shots of those beautiful breakers and whitecaps? Simply awesome. Stuart

uh oh... Nice shot, I really like that tank car. Who makes it? Oh..by the way, you better call the rerailers in...there is a wheel on the ground. Great picture, keep up the good work. Stuart.

The interlocking tower is a busy place as well as General Ship Repair... Here is a shot of the interlocking tower, as well as the small office and scrap area of the General Ship Repair co.

Great place for a rail enthusiast, terrible place if you are a commuter late to work. I thought I would take advantage of some really intense natural sunlight and experiment with some shadow effects. Hope you enjoy them. Stuart

Spitfire, the yard looks great and Ilook forward to seeing how it progresses. Nice job indeed. Stuart

Wayne, Thanks for that industry tour. That is seriously one of the nicest industries I have ever seen modeled. But then again, there are a number of industries on your layout that I am covetous of. Top notch job! Stuart

let's try this again... let's try this again...
