That's some really hot T-TRAK stuff Bruce. I love seeing people do things like that with it. I did my own take on pushing the limits with the format a while ago:

I did a bunch of work on Conrail 9594 yesterday, filling in the cab windows to make it more closely match the real one. Not a perfect job, but getting there:

Whilst not technically completed on the weekend it was finished on Monday. My CTC panel was upgraded to now have all the mainline turnouts individually detected. Previously they were part of the mainline which made it difficult for the dispatcher to tell where the train was.
Thanks to a few dedicated mates the job is done.
This is a shot of the panel blurry as it is and the L / Hand screen.

Wow - Simply outstanding work this week from everyone. No wonder the weekend update has become my favorite thread!

Arbomambo, I don't recognize that Conoco gas station; is it a kit?

Lots of very impressive work guys!  I will throw it into sharp relief with a shot of my progress this weekend - installed ground throws on the half of the layout that's got track, and had some fun limited operation.

NECR GP38 3844 (the power from the Palmer local, train 606) shoving to Maple Leaf and Trans Plastics (or at least as far as the track is laid in that direction).

Love it. 606 usually takes our train over and works with us when we get in town. Pretty cool to see this!

Yes, and thanks...the station is a Blair Line kit..."Ernie's", I believe...it also includes one of the beautiful billboards, but I'll have to use it on another module as there was no room in this scene.

Thanks Brian!  Bet you thought I was never going to get anywhere with this project, it's taken so long :)

I have been working on a couple buildings for the club layout. A Walthers State Line Supply and the other is a Self Storage Complex that is Atlas kits and a BLMA office combined. I am working on the fence for the storage yard. The posts are way tall and will be cut off once the chain link is on.
