Great pics of a great layout! These kind of photos are a great tool for examining the work and making corrections- but I don't see any :)  The excellent work really holds up to intense scrutiny! Excellent work, Frank!

Good Morning Steve,


Thanks for your kind words re the layout. Progress is being made daily. 34 days and counting and I feel the pressure. Here is another pic of Little Falls.

Appreciate your kind words. Lots of details. Another pic of Little Falls. So much to do, so little time.

Glad you like John's pics. He spent a lot time viewing the layout and taking pictures. There are so many areas to take pics of.  I probably should start a thread of " Details on the Morristown & Erie - Western Division" HMMM. I just might do that after the photo shoot.

Good Afternoon Greg,


Glad you like the inside of Coopers Garage.  Talk about detail. Whoa Nelly. Pouring water, adding details, etc., etc. Here is another pic of Little Falls. The left side of the town is not in this picture. I am still pouring water and there is a lot of things in the way. I hope to have this area completed later in the week. More pours and a waterfall. Boy, is this time consuming. Enjoy.

A quick funny story:


Earlier today, while going in and out of the train room, a lizard ran into the room. The lizard is harmless. This one  was about 4 to 5 inches long. I had just finished pouring another batch of environtex resin for the water. All I could imagine was this lizard climbing up onto the " just poured" water effect. As sticky as the resin is, the lizard would be immediately stuck and potentially sinking into my fresh stream. This thought stayed with me for quite a while as I continued to paint, pour, etc. on the scenery.


I had to use the bathroom sometime during the day, and low and behold, here was the lizard in the cool climes of the shower stall. Whew. I picked it up and deposited it back in the great outdoors. That was too close for comfort. Tha gave me a few more grey hairs.


That's the end of that adventure. Back to scenery. Hope everyone has had a great day.

If the lizard had gotten stuck, you could have named it Ralph and set up a film crew doing a take for a monster movie :-) :-)

Frank,
Thank you for allowing John to take so many photos of your layout and share them with us.  Not only is your modeling absolutely outstanding, your scene composition is wonderful.  Your scenes are not something that the viewer simply looks at, but are composed so that they actually draw the viewer deeper into the scene.  Again, great modeling, kudos to you and John for sharing with us.
Jerry
