Personal update

[Sumpter250]

I used to post on The Gauge a lot but have been fairly "quiet" recently due several reasons. Earlier this year, I started on a small N-scale layout which has been progressing slowly. It's also a British layout so, in some ways, it doesn't fit that well with this forum as I'm using Graham Farish and Dapol rolling stock, etc.

Robert, Model Railroading is just that, " Model Railroading "
Scale, prototype modeled, diesel, or steam, or electric ( third rail or overhead ), it's all Model Railroading....
and, yes, that also includes: - - All the other stuff modeled, that goes into the creation of a layout. Buildings,bridges,roadways,trees,streams,...... all the way to herds of beef running wild down the main street of the village, if that's something you might like to have as an attention getter hock:
This also includes free exercise of imagination. I chose to have a shipyard be the owner and operator of "my railroads".
The Sag Harbor Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, a 3' gauge industrial railroad, and, the Sagaponack Montauk and Cindys Harbor Rail Road, a Standard Gauge railroad, that connects the shipyard with the outside world.
Neither of these are "prototype" railroads, but they are what became necessary for the world they operate in.....the one I created, to justify their existence.
It is your hobby, and this is the place where the "world" can see it.
Looking forward to seeing more of what you have done, and how you have done it, regardless of whose rolling stock you have chosen to use.
This photo is of a 2' X 4' Ntrak module I built, and have since given to a member of that Ntrak group:
   
In the upper left corner you can see a ship sitting in Drydock, to the right of that a ship under construction.
The bridge, {right foreground} became this:
   
Does this place exist in the real world ? No, it only exists in N scale, and was one of my "more fun" projects, that actually got some "run time" with the Ntrak group, before I finally gave the module to one of their members.
Have fun, and be creative, and post photos of your work here. We want to see what you've accomplished.
