I installed some new LED lights today so I thought it would be the time to take some overall views of the layout. These may give you all a better idea of how it is laid out.

Love that 4-track main! Makes me jealous for space!

That's even more of those lights than I have! I can't put them in the layout room without a major change of all the light fixtures.

Great looking layout!

Geez Charlie...those aerial views had me to starting to think that Barney Secord was at work, but since I didn't notice any empty bottles laying on the layout, I gotta give you full credit for the layout photos. Nicely presented.

OMG, that layout looks larger than my house. Beautifully executed, great photos.

There is a lot of clutter to find storge space for. It is getting hard to run trains. I plan to build wooden foamed line boxes to store the locomotives and the boxes will be long enough to store steam locomotives with the tenders attached. I don't think removing the plugs constantly is a good idea and I have found that a sliver cut from 12 guage wire insulation will slip over the tender pin to keep the drawbar in place.
I am currently soaking some locomotives in super clean to remove the paint so they can be "rosterized"

Charlie,
But admit, you have purchased these LEDs from GERN; 3% more brightness.

I have a few more photos that I want to post here just so they are on the web.
