Here are a few of the vignettes on my layout.
It's a lazy day at the produce distributor's warehouse.
This is a tribute to my Grandfather. He used to cut firewood and haul it in an old manure spreader. Lord willing, he will turn 101 in August.
An old abandoned tractor has weeds and trees growing up around it. The visiting deer are probably the only ones that know of its existence.
Despite the "NO DUMPING" sign, the area between the oil well and railroad tracks has become a popular spot to dispose of old apliances and other junk.
This cat is no dummy. He knows exactly how far the dog's chain will reach.
As soon as the locomotive couples to the tank car, the brakeman can connect the air hoses and climb aboard for the trip back to the yard.
A track gang has just replaced a cross tie. The final spikes are being driven and soon they will be on their way to the next repair.
The wreck crew is placing a new truck under a gondola that derailed.
A farmer takes time out from his fence repairs to watch a passing freight train.
I have quite a few more, but these are some of my favorites.
