Chris,

 I'm on this website multiple times a week (4-5). I see a lot of awesome photos but this one really blew my mind. The angle and depth of the photo really tricks the mind, it's hard to believe that it is only a 2x4 layout. Good job.

It's spring on the Mahoning Division, but in the real Mahoning Valley it is 28 degree and covered in white stuff.

Thanks mike, I had it in my mind it was 2x4. Still impressive for a HCD.

Good to see her in her new home.  I'd suggest more bright yellow LEDs inside to suggest a 24 hour shift schedule...  But then, after your shift work this week, I can see why you'd like to see her slow down in the over night hours!

Wow. That's some grade.  :D
It's going to be higher than that in a few areas, the prototype had to climb to that height in about a mile and a half as it switched off the pennsylvania main and then crossed over it via the truss bridge I'm building. I'm modeling the era after this line was abandoned so i don't have to worry about the grade  :D However I'm modeling another part of the LE&P that will provide some switching operations with gravel trains and chlorine tank cars ECT. Here's a picture overlooking what I'm modeling the track that went over the bridge was to the right in the tree area and the spur on the left was left in operation for a gravel plant and a water treatment plant. It's an interesting area. https://www.google.com/search?q=conrail+brady+lake+ohio&prmd=insv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjh2o6q1_rLAhWF7iYKHeJvAIQQ_AUIBygB&biw=598&bih=280#imgrc=5M6y3s2OdcrvVM%3A
