New Work to start on Nate Goodman's Layout

 :|                   The Riverside end of my layout (photographed too much?) is now considered finished except for replacing the station with an up graded model of the same building built by Bob Gilmore from an AHM kit. Work is now about to start on the next section of layout. A quick history of this side. One 4' Ntrak module built by myself  that was part of the old Utah N Rail layout, and two partially finished modules, built by Kelly Newton that was also part of the old UNR layout. Work to be done, track rework ballasting, finishing the scenery on the Kelly section, bridge replacement with Truss bridges, new tunnel portals, completed scenery, trees, water effects etc. Photos posted show first an overall view and the three sections. The various companies involved ran inspection trains to survey the up coming work, Santa Fe ran their Track Geometry car, and while photos were being taken this train passed by on it's way to the shops with the car that is to become TRW 000. Photos by Bob Gilmore. Nate Goodman (Nato).

Great Nato,

New beginnings are always fun.  Thanks for sharing.

PS. I don't think the riverside scene has been shown too much, I like it!

I think this might be the first time we saw the whole layout.

I'm sure the Conrail exec train will get attention here  :)

Some sweet scenes in there Nate.  And don't feel you need to hold back on the rest of the layout.

I'm sure the Conrail exec train will get attention here  :)

I didn't even notice that until you mentioned it.  ;)

Reminds me of a lot of the Sun N Sand modules.

I like the module recycling.  Reminds me of what some of us have done with Lee's layout.

In case you would be interested in upgrading that Conrail OCS Laser Horizons offers sides for several of the business cars, some of which would be appropriate for the MT observation car, including the #10...
