Thank you, all.... I am ready for the NJ HighRailers to come visit for sure.... Liz popped her head up the other day from inside the layout and said, "Well, we are no Rich Batista, but I think this looks pretty good!".....
Eddie - the left side are my display shelves..... 14' high, the fire marshal said no higher, and 60' long..... Here's a shot that shows them better..... Once we finish all of the display shelves, we will have a linear half-mile of display shelve space......
The guy in the picture with his back turned is Lu Nobel.... he has been a major contributor to our getting the upcoming MTH Premier Monon Passenger Set right..... His reward is my undying gratitude and he gets to greet the good looking people that come visit...... you know, like Ed Boyle....
It's kind of funny - the woman in the picture brought a newspaper to sit and read while her family looked at the layout..... she didn't sit down and read it - got all caught up in the layout and the trains running......
