Here are a few more, first a low angle from Lemont. If I ever redo a part of the design, I would model the town of Lemont. Here is an overview/high angle shot of the Bridge. It is 19" long. And then a meet between an Vehicle train and a stack train heading towards Corwith.
GoSteelers - Some great shots! I like the low-angle shots - I think they are very effective in N-scale, and your's is no exception. And of course I've got major GP60M/B envy, everytime you show yours
Awesome!!! The shots really deceive--the layout depth, shown in graphic detail in the first post, sure doesn't look that shallow in your great shots!
Great layout! I really wish I went with an around-the-room layout like this vs. my table-style layout, which I don't know if I'll ever finish (with a table layout, you need to finish scenery for the full width of the table...6' in my case). Plus, I really like the idea of modeling actual locations like you did (mine is pretty much freelanced). Great looking intermodal facility! Nice to see the GP60B running too! Russ
That is just awesome. I like that you have pictures of the real locations on your fascia. That is a really nice touch. I like your IHB switcher on the interchange as well. I also noticed you have a zephyr as your control system. It's pretty impressive what that little box can do for a layout.
My first love is Santa Fe. To see your layout reflecting a number of ATSF locations is superb. I like the pictures of the prototype next to your model. Thanks for sharing the pic's.
