OK, where's the G? (large scale)

G is my summer respite from O being cooped up..with a layout that is as big as space permits. Nothin fancy..but a lot of fun. Burlington Route may get a sense of deja vu as this is some of the G we swapped for O. There has been so much rain down here in Southern NC, that there hasnt been much opportunity to run.

That's one good looking model..

Visited a friend today who lives across the valley where we used to live. First time at his house. He has an elevated elongated figure eight and in between showers we ran my two Santa Fe diesels. 

 Slap some ballast under some of that track, a few cars in tow, and I'd say you have the best looking RR around!! Loving that last shot.

Bruce...loved that lil stainz when I had her...hope she gives you years of service....now, where the two switchers?....and when are we gonna do this again? 

Hey Joe,

MTH has the produced the SD70ACe in O Scale and HO and soon S Scale. Now I'm wondering if MTH will present the SD70ACe in G Scale!

Regards,

Frank

Joe - He actually has ballast under most of it but the 2x6 treated boards that make the track platform have warped somewhat over the winter and much of the ballast has come off. I've offered to help him work on it this year. He has all narrow gauge equipment in various scales - about 5 of 'em!

Our previous home with the layout is in the trees on the mountain in these last two photos. About 2/3rd the way the mountain up above the rear of the PA... 

Yeah, yeah yeah!!! Frank, if I hang with you, I'm going to need mo money!! Don't show any pictures, OK!

 Sam, why'd you move??? Wow!

Joe,  we moved (reluctantly) due to our age and the occasional harsh winters here. Several times we were stranded due to snow and ice on the road. Last May I fell in my yard and broke my ankle - we had virtually no flat ground and I was only weedeating.

The CFO insisted that we move back closer to town so I caved. It made good sense but we took an awful hit on the sale.  You know - 'Buy high and sell low'..
