Great stuff they never get boring

Fantastic.

Great photos not boring at all. How big is your layout?.

Not bored at all! I like the structures...esp. the Produce King and the service [gas] station.

Hi Pat,

That is absolutely  beautiful, I must someday come and see it in person !!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing,

Alex

Nicely done.  Good blend of track, scenery and activity.

I am particularly interested in the trestle show in the picture below.  Did you make it, have it made for you or purchase it from some company? The bridge is unusual and has terrific detail.

Never get tired of seeing pictures of your layout Pat. Thanks.

Ditto!!! Layout photos are always great. You can often find something you can use in some form on your own layout. Once in a while you see things you may want to avoid even......but always something you can use. THANKS

Thanks all for the kind compliments.

DennyM:  Overall area is about 32'x24'

Alex:  We'll arrange that soon.

Wood:  The bridge was made by a guy that is no longer in business, but I'm pretty sure the folks at the NJ Hirailers have the capability to reproduce it.  You could contact Ben, bluelinec4 for info.

Boring . . . ?    No way.    Love the mallet coming around the bend with a drag of box cars.

Thanks Pat,  I am going down there next month and I'll check with Ben

Beautiful stuff Pat.  I look forward to seeing your layout again in a couple months.  Someday we'll have to twist your arm and take some video of the layout.  Folks, as photogenic as Pat's layout is, a photo will never show you one of its most outstanding features.  Operationally Pat's layout is a work of art and a testimonial to his fine craftsmanship.  Its a layout where you can actually work switching jobs at prototypical speeds without trouble.  At least, without trouble caused by the trains.  The crazy people Pat allows to operate; we're a different story.

Having seen it in person, and featured it in the magazine and on an OGR video, boring is most certainly not a word that applies to Pat and Jean's layout.

Beautiful layout in every respect.

Pat - Thanks for posting pictures of your beautiful layout. You and Jean's advance planning is very evident. I also love the fact that you planned for scenery and didn't just try to see how much track you could cram into the available space. Your layout is very inspirational.

Fabulous!

Is Pat and Jean's jewelry store in there somewhere?

Hi Pat, the day I find a layout like yours boring is the day I find another hobby.

It all looks great, but I really love the shot of the waterfall from under the arch bridge.

Also as stated above the vignettes are all well balanced and interesting to look at.

Good-stuff! 

Great layout, it shows lots of talent. Thanks for sharing.
