The backdrop is a work of art!

[@CNLVN]

hpept Thanks. I really enjoyed doing Bill's backdrop. I have posted a series on the channel on how anyone can do this. Step by step and some practice.

Wow. I really love watch these great switching jobs. Probably best job what a man can do it with pants on. ;-D Thanks for sharing. Johan

Chris I would love to be able to do an operate on this railroad. I hope you guys caught the car that derailed while spotting cars at the engine service area, LOL thanks for sharing , Chuck

***** Ya we did. The 0-5-0 crane came in and took care of business. Bill keeps the trucks quite loose so sometimes a lighter car or a bit of dirt will make them jump.

Just came across this for the first time. Beautiful layout. However, as a railroader I couldn't help but notice when you were spotting the three coal gons by the turntable, you put the center one on the ground. Someone's gonna get fired for that.

[@CNLVN]

Ha Scott. Lets hope if we rerail it. The guy in charge is quite the stickler for that sort of thing.

Didn't Confusious say 'a thousand words is worth one video'??? So many place names, so many branches, all prototypical on here, gosh a map of the area, putting a place to a name..... would be as helpful to the imagination as.... a track plan of the layout?? yeah , another hint.... if I missed it, please give me a point to refer back to...

[@CNLVN]

Tony Dee Unfortunately I did not see a map or track plan. For this one Google Earth will help.
