    Did you try making a second post with photos? There is a limit per post. But not the number of posts you may create.

    Cooder, if those beautiful scenes are "practice", I can't wait to see what you consider perfection..... :wideeyes:

    Cooder, When Boxcab said to make another post, he meant to go to the last post in your original thread and click on the "Reply" or "Reply with Quote" button at the bottom, then you can add another post to your original thread, and then you can post more pictures in that post.

    Hope that helps...

    BTW, nice work on the "Practice layout"

    You won't need to start a second thread. Just another post in an existing topic is all which you'd need to do. :)

    Again, some nice work. If you more to share, please keep 'em coming.

    Also, I can merge this into your original topic, to keep it all together....

    Yes, I didn't notice that you said you were going to merge them until after I did it. ;)

    Nice touch with the laundry on clothesline. Brings back memories of childhood.

    Very nice work Cooder! However, I've got a point to pick with ya. Just wondering why all that talent and being able to see details, all that weathering on your cars, all that stringing of electrical lines on poles and cross arms does not translate into using something other than Kato Unitrack???....unweathered, unpainted, huge rails and out-of-scale ties Kato Unitrack?

    Your scenes will look exponentially more realistic if you practice using either Atlas 55 flex and turnouts, or Atlas 55 turnouts and ME flex...laid on cork roadbed, painted and weathered, ballasted and weathered again. Plus, you get to practice your soldering and wiring skills and learn how to mount turnout motors under the tracks or elsewhere.

    I'm not detracting from your scenery details and weathering...but the big, shiny rails and non-USA-prototypical ties of Kato Unitrack just jump out and bash me over the head every time I look at your photos...

    If I were you, I'd definitely consider going the next step and using better looking trackage to compliment your other skills and talents, rather than detract from them.

    That doesn't appear to be Unitrack... but most likely code 80 Atlas sectional track. The layout looks great.
