Gus, wow, really? your first engine was the same exact engine as mine?...Great minds do think alike :mrgreen:
Charlie, I have done that trick on a layout my dad and I had in the past, though it was to make a highway look longer
. Might do that on here too
.
Steve, Thanks! :mrgreen: I hope many of you remember and enjoy my engine collection
.
Torikoos, it was the patched engines that made the merger years so colorful for the UP

UPDATE:
Well, I bought 3 4x8 sheets of hardboard, cut them in half and it gave me enough background to do all three sides of the layout
I haven't put it all up yet but its all painted, I set a couple pieces up on the layout just to see how it will look, my lighting is a bit wonky as I us different lighting thought the layout :? , but I'll deal with it, by the time I airbrush in the clouds and add scenery it should work out fine.

Anyone like Wisconsin and Southern? , I pulled out and ran my WS engines tonight
