Phase two is done, for now anyway ! The first pic is of the overall layout then the overall of phase two and finally the right side of phase two looking towards the main layout ( if you can call 6 foot by 28 inches a main layout ) .

Whatever the size, or what you call it, with scenery like that, it's A#1 in my book....

Great stuff..!!

Wow! It's been 5 weeks since In hit a lick on my layout. If I wait a few more weeks my entire layout can quailify as an orphan challenge !

It does, just that you'd have to finish it all off by the end of the challenge.

Thanks Gus, much appreciated! Don there isn't a chance!

Thanks Gus, much appreciated! Don there isn't a chance!

Yeah, I'm aware. It's been probably seven years since I started my addition, and at the rate I'm going, it'll probably be seven more before it's even close to being finished.

O.K., it's only taken 5 months but I'm finally getting around to phase 3.

[Tyson Rayles]

A little more progress. The freight train in the far right corner is where the two track staging yard will be. This will leave me about 5 feet to do a river crossing. As you can see I'm already working on the " Great Plywood River" area.

[Tyson Rayles]

The trackwork and wiring is done although the track isn't fastened down so I can remove the bridge to finish the river. The trains are sitting in the future staging yard. Next will be the landforms.

We're "Big Blue", not "General Electric"

"Progress" isn't, and shouldn't be "Our most important product" !



Our most important product, is Just all the little details that add up to it

Lookin' good Mike.I'm having so much fun with my show layout project I may just trash the big layout for a much smaller one (about twice the size of the show layout).

[Tyson Rayles]

Pete I can over do lack of progress from time to time. Thanks Catt, bigger wasn't better for me.

[Tyson Rayles]

I set the backdrop boards on to see out the scenicked area frames out. The other pic is the 2 track staging yard and fiddle yard. I finished cleaning out the riverbed (reclaimed wood ) and can start on the landsforms next.

[Tyson Rayles]
