Looks great Catt! I like the way the river separates the scenes!
Hope you feel better soon, by the way.

Catt Wrote:Harry,sorry to take so long in answering you about the buildings,but I've been feeling rather pourly lately.
The buildings in the pictures you show are both scratchbuilt.The white one is a Z scale copy of a Walthers kit and the other one is a total freelance.
I no longer have either building .
Thanks Catt, but never mind.
I build itself as the factory plastic cast model and later as gypsum plaster model such as Kurt's building.
sorry my bad english
The layout is officially done (no not finished,done).Lot's to do yet like road strping ,signs,people,and more vehicles.
I am concidering an extention on this end that will both lengthen and widen this end of the layout.I just need to find an affordable way to align the sections that will remain basically forever accurate.
Anyone interested in finding out more about Z? Check out Z Central Station @

They are a friendly bunch (they put up with me
)
...and the train crew and the dispatcher is Z-scale too
That looks great! I really like it.
Time for a small update on the Z layout.They layout is up for some major upgrades including length and width (at one end atleast)The track layout here is currently on my most liked list.If I still feel that way on saturday it will happen.The inner end loop will become history and it will become another industrial siding.Please ignore the mess as this pic is just to show what I have planned to start with,and to allow me to study it up close.
Final dimentions will be 62" long with this end 30" wide while the other end will remain at 24".
Once I commit to this plan I have till 12-3-11 to get it respectable. :mrgreen:
WARNING!,there will be more pictures.
If that thing gets much bigger Catt you will have to switch it over to G scale!
I just made a slight correction,the layout will be 62" long or standing on end 5'2" same as my wife.
Progress pic,as of 10-8-11,that SD40-2 is running laps lookng for problems before the track is secured. :mrgreen:
Mike,my goal is to get this layout at least half as nice as yours.
Harry,Thank you sir. :mrgreen:
Pete,The only thing a finished layout is good for is replacement.
