The Pennsy - Six Miles West of Altoona and More

Tom, the first few photos are of the Bennington Curve and MG tower area, Tunnel Hill Glallitzin Pa. We have done more work at Horseshoe but we still have a ways to go on that scene. I guess the saying " you are never done in this hobby" is true!
Thanks to every one for the positive words about what we have do so far, it is very encouraging.

Wow. When it was all plywood, I thought it looked like a slot car track. What an amazing transformation with scenery

Great. Hope we get an SBG field trip in the works!

John,

Thanks for stopping by and posting a comment. Yes, it did look like a slot car track and that is one of the reasons I waited a few weeks to get to most of the scenery pictures. I was fishing with ya'll, especially with Gman, you know like reeling everyone in!

Funny you should mention the SBG field trip! I was talking to Bill yesterday afternoon about the SBG's coming up for a visit. I'm going to try to plan it within the next four weeks.

Boy oh Boy, I did not see this coming. You guys better sign Kris up for your SBG group. She has talent. Beautiful job. do you have any more pictures?

Frank / Erieman

Frank,

Thanks for stopping by! Kris really got involved in the scenery part of the layout. I think it's funny that she won't let Bill do any scenery and when he does it is certainly under her very watchful eye!

Yes, she does have talent but if we sign her up for the SBG what are we gong to do with her Bill? Ha, just kidding.

Yes, I have more pictures. I'll get them up later.

I thought the same thing when I saw the first few pictures - looks like a slot car track I had when I was a kid. I think I'm showing my age - do slot car tracks still exist? This is turning into a first class layout - great work!

John,

Thanks for stopping by. This is one of those layouts that really needs to be seen in person. The saying, "Pictures don't do it justice" really applies here.

Uh-Ooh! I see a Floridy challenge here!
The SMG (Still Married Group) vs the SBG group!
Both get high points from us'ns!
But Kris gets a few extra for joinin' in the fun and leanin' over the layout!

Gman,

It's good to see you my friend! I appreciate you stopping by for a visit. I'm happy yu'ns had a chance to see what we'ns gots go'ns down here in old Floridy!

Bill,

Thanks for helping me out here!

I wasn't sure about the area and I knew dang well I couldn't spell them and wasn't gong to try!

The positive comments you both have received are very well deserved. Thanks for letting me post the pictures and for being a part of the fun!

Hey all you Gandy Dancers! I haven't posted any of Bill and Kris Cutler's layout photos lately but I now have many new and updated ones to add.

However, first I'm going to show ya'll the last of the old ones I have.

Continued in a few minutes.

ACL1504 · April 23, 2014, 06:07:47 PM

A few more-

I assume I don't need to explain the next photo!

This next two photos are of AR Tower. You can see the scenery on this part of the layout is still under the growing stages.

Continued in a few minutes.

The next three photos are of the farm area. These photos are the early stages of the farm. The updated photos of this area really make this area an eye catcher when you walk by!

The updated photos need to be uploaded and cropped before I show them, sorry. I guess I just sucked ya'll in.

You really won't believe the change.

Hopefully, I'll get the newer ones uploaded this weekend.

As promised, here are several new photos of the finished farm area.
