    Smoke stacks a-belchin'. Major industrial area! Brings back memories of the factories and all I saw back in the fifties. Plus, pulp mills steaming away and stinking, too! I well remember the famous "Aroma of Tacoma", out in western Washington.

    Yes it can when you can smell the plant at least 25 miles before you reach the town. I can not beleive that folks can live there!

    No I will not be replicating any of this in HO Scale!!!

    :startled:

    The layout is looking really good. How has running been? You've got me thinking I may need to build a inglenook just to get my hands back on some switching.

    This obviously has to do with spare time available. So, I must ask- When you do have layout minutes, how do you decide between them? HO? N? Flip a coin? Argh. To many scales, not enough time?

    Thanks Geek , It has been cleared off for a while as things are worked on, and have not run it since the paint and start of ballast.
