Really shows everyone's personalities... gives me flashbacks of my youth in the Ntrak scene...

Bruce's Modules were genuine standouts! clean, good modeling, not crowded, good concept! congrats @arbomambo would get my vote at a show with a module contest!

Makes me wish there was a N scale group near Central Alberta  :D
The Railwire is not your personal army.  :trollface:

You forgot dinosaurs.

Jason


Yes,
That's my wife's corner module...she built it from a Kato Foam T-TRAK module kit.
  She was so excited to build it, that she subsequently bought over $500.00 worth of locomotives and cars to run on the various T-TRAK layouts.
I'm almost certain that the vendors and manufacturers, who are responsible for the products she purchased (and continues to purchase) don't give a flying, fornicating rat's patooty that the modules she runs their product on has dinosaurs on it.

  Hey, while you're at it, have a go at the module submissions built by kids and grandkids; I'll bet that'll really inspire them to continue to embrace model railroading!

Thanks for your kind words, Nate.  Still trying to work out how I can insert a Star Wars theme so it fits in a little better... :D

Having seen Lee's Cumberland in person, it's really cool.

Beyond the obvious, and his teasing about Star Wars, he DOES have a tribute to "Abbey Road" in the crosswalk that deserves special merit, and the other thing I got a kick out of was his camouflage of his light switches as window air conditioners in the buildings.

Like any good module, there's the initial 'wow', and then as you really start to study it, the long, slow, quiet....WOW.

Keep it up, fellas, and you just might make Lee smile as depicted in his caricature.  :P

The air conditioner as light switch was stolen from a DKS micro layout project...  can't recall which.  Maybe Trenton Transportation.  Credit where it's due.  It would be more impressive if it worked consistently, but you know... details!

And there are a few other of us represented in there as well.  All really nice work.
