Beautiful rock work. Howard uses the Bragdon rubber rock molds.

More in a few.

Some of the pictures are a bit yellow looking. Howard had his "working on the layout" lights on. I corrected them the berst I could.

Fair Warning!!!!!

Continued in a few.

Howard is in the process of adding six additions to the existing layout. He has taken a little bit of isle space and added 6 new turntables in different areas. The next three pictures is of one of the new areas.

I'll try to get more pictures up tomorrow.

Tom, that shot of the hill side is amazing. What fantastic modeling.

Beautiful work. You must have some great op sessions.

Dustin,

Thanks for looking in. Yes, Howard does beautiful work. Some of the hill side scenes are the best I've ever seen. The pictures show a great layout but it can't be fully appreciated unless you see it up close and in person.

Bob,

Thanks for stopping by. I've never been to one of Howard's ops sessions but he tells me he has had as many as 16 at one time. I'd love to be a part of one though.

No more road trips

, if I can't fly I ain't going. The last drive to Scranton cured me of any thoughts of ever driving to another Expo

or anywhere up North

. Just saying for real.

Aww...c'mon. I wasn't that bad during the trip was I?

All kidding aside Howard was a very gracious host and seeing his layout in person was one of the highlights of the trip. Once I clean up and upload my photo's I'll add them to Tom's thread. Non-model railroads that I've shown my pictures too (and the Alan Keller video) have been truly amazed by what they see.
