I agree, I like the look of that old equipment.

[S&S RR]

So, I was sorting through some pictures this evening and came across this picture of the Eagles Nest Yard area in 2014, 6 years ago. Some of the benchwork and plasterwork in this picture is from my previous layout.  In some cases I built over it and in others it was removed.

[S&S RR]

I picked up my iPhone and took the same picture this evening. No preparation - just a work in progress picture.





I guess we have made some progress in the last six years. I have four more structure builds planned for this area and then the final detail scenery.

[S&S RR]

I count at least 12 forum build threads in this picture.

Wow - Dennis you almost got my Grandson in big trouble.  There are a number of locomotives that have not been added to the rooster until we get out of test mode. I found the Broadway boxes you spotted in the picture.   At some point in the not too distant future, they will be housed in the Stone and Brick Roundhouses on the layout.

John, Grandson is gonna love those.They are Beautiful loco's I love mine....Dennis

Wow, that's a great shot of the layout. Very cool - and excellent modeling. Can't wait to see it even more populated with structures.

[Mark Dalrymple]

Sometimes - when you see pictures like these - you realize you HAVE made progress!  Its easy to get lost in the woods.

Looking very fine, John.

Cheers, Mark.

[Janbouli]

Wow , that is fully worth the 6 years , great progress John.

John,


Words escape me, almost.  I think what strikes me the most, aside from the progress and the beautiful scenery, is the furniture quality finish to the front of the layout. WOW!

Wow, that's a great shot of the layout. Very cool - and excellent modeling. Can't wait to see it even more populated with structures.

John, wonderful progress, and Mark said exactly what I was thinking.
I'm guilty of getting lost in the woods and having these types of photos to capture progress is satisfying and motivational at the same time.  Of course you need no more motivation as you continue to inspire with your progress !!
Keep up the wonderful work and modeling.
All the best,

Thank you for the kind words. I think you need to look back once in awhile and realize you are getting closer on these life long projects. I'm going through each section of the layout and taking a realistic look at how many kits I really need.  I may be making some available that I don't think I will be able to use.
