real nice layout man.but one thing is ,wherever its supposed to be...Its really,really dirty there!its like there all too lazy to get there plastic bumbs up and clean.LOL--josh
its like there all too lazy to get there plastic bumbs up and clean.LOL--joshya i like i like it that way,im a believer in,the dirtier,the more realistic!:thumb: sign1 miles western are you looking lol
:thumb: sign1 miles western are you looking lol was just thinkin now that i can post photos i can do tutorials and lots of other stuff,so many possibilities open up!i might do a tutorial,how to string telephone poles,any way thats all 
Actually, I am!! sign1 I'm puzzled by your Era...It looks, due to the HEAVY weathering on most of the stuff, like the late 1950's, correct? The Caboose diorama is a seperate venture, right?
Do you have an engine house?
Also, you might want the extensive vining (very cool BTW! ) to start on the bottom of the building, and work it's way across the roof.
A suggestion: The athearn Streamliner is too new (in that era espically) to even begin rusting, as it's stainless steel. Could I make a suggestion of getting an OLD Time wood combine, or baggage, and putting it up in blocks?
Lastly, LET's SEE SOME MORE PICS!!! This looks great, and I'd love to see some of the city!! PLEEEEASEE?!

That immediately puts you in the mid 1950's. If you wish to backdate your layout, Here's a list of 1930's-1940's Steam engines that are SP prototype:
The Best of the bunch would be the IHC 2-6-0, which is modeled after the SP's Famous M-4 mogul. They pull well, look great and aren't expensive, look HERE:
http://www.ihc-hobby.com/cgi-bin/bsc.cgi?sn=86503M9753B33B96E403269G0N0039
Other ones include old MDC kits (their 0-6-0, their "Harriman" 4-4-2/2-6-2/2-8-0 series)
And the Cabforwards made by Rivarossi, BLI, and PCM.
I didn't finish the doodlebug, because I scrapped the gutless Mehanotecnika motor, and put in the drive train from an Athearn GP-40. I'm planning to add sound with a cheapie MRC decoder, and Have dissected the shell, making one half an RPO (instead of the blanked out windows.) No progress photos yet..
What else do you wish to know?
Also: Here's some photos from my old layout, if you haven't seen them: http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=22147&highlight=chronicles

It's 1958, the last year for steam on the MV&P, on my old layout.
My new layout can be flexible from 1940-1960, with 1955 being the year I'm aiming for,
