Wayne, that’s a fantastic collection of cars. Can’t wait to see the rest of the cars you still want to re-paint and re-letter. What did you say, how many more do you have waiting on you workbench? BTW, did you use an airbrush to apply this subtle weathering to some of the cars?

Dan, even before I read Mike’s post, I thought that some trucks would look nice in front of that building in the corner. So I really concur with Mike’s suggestion and I like what you made of it. Looks good :thumb:. Like Josh and Ralph, I can’t see anything wrong with the blue building – very...

Hello Stein, welcome to the Gauge. Thank you for posting the plan and pictures of your layout. I really like your trackplan and I think you made the most of the space available. Looking forward to see many more pictures!

Scott, thank you for the English lesson. So taggers are what I thought they were, but I just was not sure. Do you have a way to keep them off of your layout? On my layout they always seem to creep in at night :p:mrgreen: and then I have to show you pics of those ruined cars :mrgreen:. Josh, I...

Hi Stuart, I concur with Wayne that it is good to see you back. How could we forget your fantastic B&O Layout? Not long ago I thought that it is a pity that we see no more new pictures of it. But it is very good news to hear that you already started to work on a new layout. I am looking forward...

Deano, at least you can see some progress ... what a relief :mrgreen:. Dan, still a long way to go until it is a nice as your layout :wave:. Scott, Deano, I am sure I totally agree with you, but you got to give me a little English lesson first :mrgreen::p: what do you mean by "taggers"...

The air tank and the bike pump to pressurize it is a great idea :thumb:. Does the spur on the bridge lead anywhere or do you have the bridge just for the looks? I’d really like to see a trackplan of your layout to get a notion of how it all belongs together.

Just a little update. After painting the track on the new extension, I am working on the streets now. But somehow that does not seem to be what I really want to do at the moment, so I easily get distracted and progress is very slow :oops:. But getting distracted is not always bad :mrgreen...

Deano, great pictures as usual. Those MP15ACs look very nice in their new WSOR livery. Hey, see what the postman had in his bag for me :twisted:.

Dan, if that’s what you were after when building your layout, then you really got it right. When I saw your pics, my first thought was "that looks like Chicago". That’s why I mentioned the site about Chicago’s north side.

Too much planning only gets in the way of creativity :twisted:, and what looks good in a plan does not necessarily look as good as a model. BTW, if you love urban scenes and street running, do you know the site about Chicago’s North Side switching ? Very inspirering. http://chicagoswitching.com/v5/

Thank you for posting these pics as I love urban scenes. You did a great job. It is a well known phenomenon that a layout changes quite frequently, can’t do anything against it, even if a lot of planning is involved (I know what I am talking about :p). Can’t wait to see more :thumb:.

What a beautiful silk sow’s ear! I did not know that our Good Doctor is a vet :mrgreen:.

Josh, maybe Metrobot is what you are looking for. It is a map-based search engine that lists all businesses along a street. Just type in the name of the street and the city. http://www2.metrobot.com/def.cfm?j=1

Deano, nice pictures. I love that UP ribsde hopper :thumb:.
