    It would be the bees knees if you could make the door that opens and closes.

    Trees are from Loren Snyder among others. Have to come back to the thread with the source of the switches. We have built 3 interchangeable scenery sections for the small layout. Approximate layout enclosed

    Very nice work. What is the scenery height here? 18 inches or so? It's incredibly deep for most any scale. The tall mountains dwarf the trains. The tunnel at lower left in the image above has the feel of Tunnels 35-37 in Gore Canyon. The scenery is plausible for just about anywhere on the Front Range.

    Oh, man, those photos are sweet! I loved the Rio Grande SD45s the best.

    I agree. One of the German companies makes a slow motion solenoid that would be a perfect driver.

    It would be great to see the post-breakup Rio Grande Zephyr, still looking like the CZ, pulled by DRGW E units.

    Yes, we used Fasttrack jigs for the turnouts and Atlas flex-track. Photo: Very early stage of construction.
