Some great pictures Bob.

Thanks Gary.  :) ;) I appreciate your comment. It's nice to see you posting again on a RR forum. It reminds me of the good days we had at TWP forum, where all members modeling different scales communicated with each other.

A look down on the lower level of the mainline track from the upper level of the double track mainline east of San Marino in the Monterrey mountains. The Milwaukee "Hiawatha" can be seen on the lower level mainline track. The San marino switching yard and industrial center is seen in the distance.  A "fishing hole" allows workers to fish and relax in their spare time.

Thanks Jim. The Atlas Two Truck is a phenomenal reproduction in N Scale. The moving gears are quite an accomplishment. Optimum speed is 8-10 mph. Am glad you enjoyed the photo's of my layout. :) 8)

An old color closeup photo of the South Western Portland Cement Company #12 Two Truck Shay slowly making its way up the long grade east of San Marino in the Monterrey Mountains. I used Z scale MT #905 couplers on the two truck Shay. I installed a Lenz mini silver decoder inside and slightly behind the cab. There was precious little room for a decoder to be installed in this locomotive.

Gary
