    practise makes perfect

    Ever since seeing the downtown area of Wayne's layout, I have been scheming of ways to get me a big ol' white factory incorporated into my layout plans. I love how it contrasts with those beautiful old red brick buildings as well. The loco isn't hard on the eyes either. Nice picture. Stuart.

    Oops. the S1 switcher in the top picture is the one I attempted the heat effect coming off the top, not the GP9. Thanks. Stuart.

    tough day in the yard...

    Hello everyone. Here are a few more shots of the crew of the B&O y221. They dont seem to be having a good day here as stuck cut-levers, and high mount brake wheels are giving them hell. It has just started to sleet, and instead of going for the early quit, they are considering telling the...

    scale couplers...

    Hello again, I too am interested in the Sergent Engineering couplers as well, and have been eagerly awaiting a review in one of the magazines. The companys website gives way better photos than the magazine ads that I have seen from them. One drawback{as docterwayne has pointed out] is that they...

    scale couplers...

    I was wondering what the good folks on The Gauge use for couplers. I am not sure if this is the appropriate area for this post, as I was going to do a photo comparison, only to find my camera needs recharging. I wanted to show the Kadee scale #58 coupler next to some of the other knuckle...

    Port Teresa industrial area

    Hi Glen, I like how you have an abundance of vehicles on your layout, it really helps convey a sense of activity in your industrial scene. Great job. That reminds me...I need to get down to the LHS, the new HO vehicles that are coming out are amazing. Stuart.

    B&O crew revisited...

    Hello, in my attempt to watch the football games yesterday, I neglected to add the actual crew, hehe. Anyhow, here they are going for the "early quit". I imagine they were trying to get home to watch the Colts when this was taking. Baltimore Colts, that is. Go Johnny U! Stuart.

    B&O switch crew

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. The layout is a work in progress {aren't they all?}, and some of the buildings are "leaners", kind of reminds me of a house of cards at times, but I am still tweaking the waterfronts skyline at the moment. Overall I am pleased with the way the buildings dwarf...

    Extra 727 East

    Wayne, all I can say is WOW! Your attention to prototype fidelity is amazing. The typical problems that face railroad crews in switching movements {that are a big plus to us modelers}, are amazingly replicated on your layout. Wayne has shown us all how introducing track and car restrictions add...

    Relic,s railway empire

    Nice work Relic. I especially like how you added a nice flowing curve in the second picture, it is an effective way to disguise the "edge of the layout" syndrome. Keep up the good work! Stuart.
