Safe passage, brave little layout.

Springtime in NE PA, from a slightly different angle in my build thread.  Used colored sand for the redbud.  Dogwood, bluebells, and some white things blooming.

This scene is beautiful.  The whole thing just looks so....  real.

Geez Dave , do they really gain by making you move so much ? Where you hoistin' your wind sock next ?

It seems to be a Military Thing worldwide. Maybe a promotion yet Dave Huh Huh. I know I lived in 13 houses in 25 years not counting other deployments.

The most  travelled layout in the land.

Enjoy your next adventure Dave.

Hornwrecker's diet consists only of Molson and bacon. What do you think it sounds like?

Military brat -- moved 21 times before I graduated high school.  Not every single move was due to a new position, but almost all were.  A handful we did because, once you move so often, being in one place more than 12 months makes you stir crazy, so we'd sometimes move just because.  I'd move at least once a year throughout college for the same reasons.

Now as railroad management, it's much the same story still.  Same culture of moving people around frequently -- about every 18-24 months if you're up for it.

Finishing up the L1 build waiting to do the wiring up to the generator till I go to Strasbourg on monday and get some pictures of there L1











After that just got to add a number plate, paint and DCC it

thinking of a 3rd kit to do a non facelifted one

[superturbine]

Man it looks awesome Cody.  BTW- I got overwhelmed for a while, I think your input would be useful on the T1 and still plan on shipping it.

Cody

You're L1 looks great; and the "ripple" effect on that table is outstanding!

Cody.... FINE JOB on that L1!    Crisp, straight, and clean.   Really nice job.

[CodyO]

Thanks guys, really thanks! alot my first time trying superdetailing and well I always thought I would hate this part of the hobby but somehow I enjoyed the hours at the workbench getting the wire just right still want to fix the tender ladder and straighten

I still will do more detail around the front but want to wait till I get to strasburg on Monday and take pictures of that L1 so I can get the detail right 

After this I'm debating super detailing some K4s like Doug Nelson did, thought I figure if I do that I need some max magliaro K4 mechs.....(Wallet cries)

[Lemosteam]

Cody.... FINE JOB on that L1!    Crisp, straight, and clean.   Really nice job.

Oh and special thanks to John(lemosteam) and josh(chicken45) they sent me pictures to help reference placement of wiring and just offered general advice, they really showed what this hobby is about helping other modeler's out
