I had to dump my 4x8 7 years ago when the kids were born. I incorporated part of it as a shelf layout in my workshop, but that didn't work well. Eventually I built a 3x4 foot HOn3 micro layout and have been working on detailing it. Here are two photos from the layout, plus an HOn3 2-8-2 I have been building off-an-on from mostly junk box parts the past 7 or so years, and a 3-d printed shell gas station that I designed.
Great work. Let's see some more.
Kevin, they all look great!
Very nice modeling. It's good to have you back.
I get tempted to try 3D printing but I have more irons in the fire than I can handle now and the learning curve is above my level. It does look like t could be fun though. I think that Shell station is a nifty idea. You should send Shell a photo. Maybe they will give you a tank of gas

I seriously would not suggest adding more irons to the fire. I only started doing it because I could "build" models on my computer while I was with the kids when I did not have time or space to go out to my workshop or get out modeling supplies. It's fun and challenging, but I get more satisfaction using time-honored techniques.
Really nice stuff Kevin. Keep those photos coming.
