Fantastic modeling & photos Kurt!
I especially love your beautifully weathered RR equipment!
I also like it when I see structures that are scaled really well the way yours are...The structures look large enough to support some heavy rail traffic!
I remember this guy from back in the days when I subscribed to Model RR Mag.
I think his name was David Barrows or something like that...He had a layout that was called the Santa Fe Cat Mountain Div. & he was a proponent of what he called the "Domino" system of layout design...He built his HO layout in these 2x4 modules...
I picked up a lot of great ideas from reading his stuff, particularly to do with industrial modeling & switching ops...
Your layout reminds me a lot of his stuff, although I think you've done a much better job with the equipment!
Great work!
