I took several photos of my layout tonight and planned to post them one at a time here and there. Then I decided instead to use the Photobucket slideshow option. It has 27 photos and takes a couple of minutes. It shows a GP9 on yard duty putting together a train at Kings Port. A pair of GP38-2s takes over and rolls out of town. The train then travels across the layout until it exits the tunnel at West Mill. Although there aren't photos of my steel mill, or a couple of other industries, the show gives a pretty good idea of what my layout is looking like right now.

Look for the "view as slideshow" option on the upper left of the photos.
Thanks for looking!

If you only knew how many memories these pictures bring back to me. I wish I had been taking pictures instead of bending my elbow.
One fine layout.

Truly excellent. To me, you have the ideal model railroad. Something achievable, that looks great, brings tons of fun, and is in no way pretentious.

A great layout and a nice little video. It is a nice feature of this days to make a slide show and share it on the internet.

Looks great, Ralph. I just had one question. I noticed a billboard in one photo advertising Carson City. It looked vaguely familiar like one I've seen for a casino in Carson City, Nevada. Seems a bit far East for a Carson City casino to be advertising. Is there another Carson City I don't know about or is that just something to see if we are paying attention?

Well done, Ralph. I really liked the shot where the road has a Y intersection. Very nice touch, seldom seen.

Be careful with this - It flips you to a page that you can't get out of, telling you that you have one a prize - the only way out seems to be to shut down

Thanks for letting me know. I deleted the link.

Hi Russ,
Actualy its a Wild West theme park for kids in Upstate NY! I went there as a kid. I found an image of one of its old billboards on Google images and created ths sign.
