Here is a photo sequence of an eastbound freight working it's way downgrade as it passes a westbound freight in a siding.  I gotta say, it's fun running trains though completed scenery!

Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

Chuck,

That's Highball N scale Cinder ballast.  I bought enough years ago to do the mountainous portion of the layout.  I just bought some more and it's significantly darker . . .  I may mix in some dark gray.

Nice MoP boxcar, there, Erik. :D That scenery makes me feel as if I'm there track-side.

I may have to get one of those DRGW caboose kits for my freelance railroad, they're sweet!  ;)

Your layout really sucks. Don't ever show pictures of it on here again...
