2012 Narrow Gauge Convention Layout Tours - Seattle, Washington

[S&S RR]

This Thread is the  photographs that I took during the layout tours from the 2012 Narrow Gauge Convention Layout Tours, in Seattle, Washington. 






Readers should keep in mind that this was a snapshot in time and that in this case the owners have had 6 years to expand and improve their layouts. The photographs are what I snapped as a modeler doing my own personal research for my layout. I take a lot of pictures in a hurry so I can see as many layouts as possible during the layout tours. As always, I thank the layout owners for opening up their empires. The purpose of these threads is to share what I experienced during the layout tours and maybe provide some inspiration to a fellow modeler. There are a lot of very inspirational layouts and I have found that Narrow Gauge Conventions provides an opportunity to see some of the best.

Just getting started with this thread - these older pictures require more processing before they are ready to post. It will take me a while to get them all posted.
