Thanks for posting Joel. You have gotten a lot done. Looks good.

Good Job.

Joel,

Very nicely planned and built. Would you mind sharing where the backdrop is from? That is next on my to-do list...

Paul, it was from Backdrop Warehouse.  And the neat thing about the set of scenes I'm using is that they were shot in Jenners, PA, about 1/2 hour from my house.  So,  they work well with my PRR-themed layout.

Really nice layout and train room.Thanks for posting.

Very Nice Joe looks like it will be great when you get finished(if that ever happens) Just move into a new house in the State College area and have almost a 1000 sq ft of basement for the next layout which I hope to start this winter after I get the basement finished. Open for any ideas anyone has to offer.

Looks great!  It's nice to see another train fan in Central PA!

Very nice overall!!!

Looking good Joel, very nice start and I can tell its fun to run!

Looks like your supports lots of running and operations fun.  I like the mixed height track and your wall of trains.

TRRR

Wow someone else into trains that lives close by. I'm just down 219 a few exits

US 219???  I live on 219........just a few hundred miles away!!!

Nice layout.  Mianne looks great.

Nice layout and train room . Good planning to keep the columns out of your way.

Tell the truth now- you only built the addition for the trains right

RSJB18, um, yeah, right!  That, and as it turns out, our player piano/nickelodeon.  Now, there's a benefit to having this room that we hadn't counted on.  Before our addition was built we had no room for the piano and when we moved here from Baltimore, MD we had to leave it behind with its creator.  There's plenty of room for it in the train room, though.  Mechanical music and trains -- for me it doesn't get any better.

GIT R DONE15541, you're welcome to stop by.

Nice layout, with plenty of room for scenery and structures!

I think many of us,( myself included)can easily succumb to an overcrowded layout by trying to cram in as much track as we can. 

Well done!

Looks great! I also have Mianne benchwork and am a big fan of it, very good choice. I agree with RickO above, your balance between track and scenery and accessories it nice. I have way too much track and need to make some changes. Another good thing about Mianne, easy to rearrange things if you change your mind. Good luck and please keep posting pictures of your progress.
