Hello from a newbie,

my name is Gerd and I like to show you my latest N-scale shunting puzzle "Racoon River Yard". It's a classic 3-3-5 Inglenook designed for 40' cars and a GP7 as loco.
The structures are kitbashed from Pikestuff and Walthers. Fences and billboards are made from strip wood. The "bad" track is old code 80 from Fleischmann. Not the best one, but in the first hours, this layout was started just to switch cars... It wasn't planed to add scenery.

Well, as like a runaway train, one thing leads to another and a few days later, the layout was looking like this...
I hope you like it anyway and you may enjoy the pictures. There are some more information on my website <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gerds-modellbahn.de/SOU/index_e.htm">http://www.gerds-modellbahn.de/SOU/index_e.htm</a><!-- m -->

The rolling stock is mainly based on Southern equipment.

Cheers, Gerd

Great scene building. I really like the attention to details. Nice job.

Great looking layout! I love playing on Inglenooks, your's looks not only fun to play on, but to look at!

Very nice. The backdrop buildings blend in very well.

Welcome to Big Blue, Gerd!

Well done, excellent scenery.
My club has an Inglenook and a Time Saver on the same N-Scale module. Since it is in DCC, we can run them both at the same time.

Welcome Gerd! I like your layout very much. Nice work blending in the backdrop photos and I especially like the track in concrete inside the industry yard.

And all the better, being in N scale !
