New to the hobby after retiring. Sat around for a short time and had the urge to start building something. N scale railroad seemed to fit the amount of room I had available. Started with the scenic ridge as a learning tool. As I am unable to leave things as they were designed, some changes had to be made. I will attach photo if I can figure that part out. :-D

Welcome to the Gauge! :wave:
Can't wait to see the pics of your Scenic Ridge.
I'm thinking about building one of those or going with one of the Terrain for Trains preformed layouts. I think the Scenic Ridge looks a little better and has a more intersting layout but I'm not sure I'd have the patience to build it.

Wow!
Excellent work!
I really like the pond where the industrial factory was supposed to go. I thought about doing the same thing if I do one of these kits. I don't think Woodland's choice of buildings fits the scenery for this layout all that well.

I figured a pond like yours would be more at home up on that hill. Perhapse a small little town of some old single story houses, a grease money 50's gas station and maybe a rundown store would be better suited than a big factory and 5 story brick buildings.

Most of which can be bought from fellow forumite, Stripes.
(And I assume his grandson Tyler is getting in on the family business as well. ;) )

Did you use Atlas' track pack or did you lay your own?

I used the Atlas track pack. Where the town should go will be filled with a stone company and industrial buildings. This is an older photo showing the hole where the stone company will be.
