Sven,
Welcome Welcome
Some very nice work there !! Good to see you on board here. I suspect it won't be too long and we will be learning a whole lot from you !!

I had to remove part of the entrance.
But I have changed the tag. Now I have to crawl under it through!

There are, however, operational safety while riding the trains! Big Grin

Hello,

In January 2012, I started the next part of the Layout for arranging.

First, almost everything was shut down! Eek
Left side:

Right side:

Is now on the free surface on the right side, a grain elevator and on the center and left side caused the "Salinas Farm Center".

Right side now:

The grain elevator is a Walthers Kit.

In the middle I used a small new part. To get more space for the "Salinas Farm Center".

Hi Terry,

The house had been made ​​at the time when the image is still not finished. The roof is missing there.
I will report on further progress of construction on the layout.

Many Thanks, Steve!

There are so many beautiful layouts here on Big Blue. So I've learned a lot here, and now can transpose on my layout.

Hello,

newstime!

For a long time I wanted a road bridge on my layout.
Now it was time to start this project.

The bridge is a railroad bridge by Walthers.

[Image: img_6671.jpg]

The bridge piers came from Styrofoam. These were covered with plaster and painted.
The road was built from a 3mm thick wooden board.

[Image: img_6695.jpg]

And it looks like it!

I hope you like it!

" The bridge is a railroad bridge by Walthers. "

I always admire the use of something for other than its intended purpose ! 2285_
Nice job on converting that two track through truss bridge to a highway bridge !! Thumbsup Thumbsup That looks great Thumbsup
Happy to see that Bob's country store, is doing enough business to need "enlarging" ! nice construction scene ! Big Grin Big Grin

In your "overview"......is that a small, covered, traveling crane? Over the siding?
