I swear this is color, not a "left over"  the editor did something funny with the exposure and the brass and gold went bright yellow or white, green went black, while blue and some black went florescent green.

Nice! Good weathering.

I had one of these in HO back in the day (heck, I bet almost everyone did. It was practically issued to you if you had any type of layout). My RR is way too backwoods to have one, otherwise I fore sure would have one on my current layout. The back of the structure never made any sense as there's a landing on the brick base portion but no way to get out to it. I think if I ever made one of these kits, I'd have installed a door at the center of the row of windows, so someone could walk out there.

I've always loved the design of this. If I had a lot of money and had some RR equipment on my property, it'd be awfully tempting to build an exact 1:1 scale real-life size copy of this. Modelers would come from all around just to say they'd seen it, I'd bet!

First of all, my Thanks to all the voices who sent me "Likes" and posted comments for the several photos I have posted so far along this thread: Rusty Kamel; Briansilvermustang; p51; AZGARY; Ted W; Zeke; trumptrain; delwoodjef; PRRronbh; N5CJonny; Trussman; Lou N; RSJB18; Engineer Joe; albertstrains; gandydancer1950; Mayor Magoo; Tom Densel; varodder; Diverging Clear; c.sam; Bridgeboss Jim;

Approval from ones peers matters.

Thank you, again.

Secondly, for today, here are a few more close-up looks into different neighborhoods (something my wife says she likes about the layout - its identifiably different neighborhoods)....

incredible modeling!

Wow, love this shot! You should re-take this with the calendar out of the way and cropped tighter to the left, as otherwise it's amazing!

yes, yes it does. We're all only human.

Great work, yet again, above!

I especially admire the firewood stacked under the house, something I don't recall ever seeing someone model before (but I've for sure seen in real life a few times over the years).

Frank, how big is your layout?

Ron

Ron, Here are a few photos to provide a perspective on the whole layout, approximately. I wouldn't say it was "big" but it does angle its way around the basement, under a good-sized portion of the house...

Here is the first section one sees when hitting the foot of the stairs from the first floor...

front

Then, walking along the viewing aisle, on the right of the layout, with those louvered doors on the right, is this portion...

Turn around that pole and you see this on your right..

...and this transitional section, leading into the newer section....

...and this control inset behind you...IMG_8608

...and then this newest section (approx. 20'Lx8'W,) which had been excised from the more than ample 2-car in-ground garage and.. .....added to the trainroom...IMG_0852

Can you make out the level designations and measurements on the diagram? It is missing the section off to the right (seen above)that was added  later....Moon Twp trax

I think the layout is, overall, between 360 - 400 sq ft.

Frank "Moonson": I always like seeing photos of your layout, great detail, and, very realistic scenery! Your photos tell a story to the one viewing them, in my opinion.

SIRT: I also enjoy seeing the detail you put into your locomotives and rolling stock! Great photos that you've posted this evening, wonderful detail in every scene!

AGHRMATT: I've always liked the C&NW, very nice photos of your SD9 and the passenger train. It would be nice to see more pictures of your layout, it looks great!

GANDYDANCER1950: I like seeing pictures of your layout, too! Always a treat to see, I especially like the one you posted this evening, great detail in that photo!
