Hey all,
As promised, here are some views of my home office/O gauge layout. This is where I work at home when needed, writer books, teach classes and hold meetings on zoom, zwift on my bike and, most importantly, enjoy my trains! The first view shows the track plan. As you look at the "benchwork," please note that none of it is actually benches but desks and bookshelves with plywood pieces sitting atop them. To hold them down, I have placed cinder blocks disguised as buildings to hold things in place. The "pan" view shows the overall room from behind the drawbridge. The depot is modeled after the Cheyenne, Wyoming, Union Pacific Depot and is made from foam core and then covered with color photos of the actual depot. It also covers the color printer that made the images! This is the second such depot I've made. The first was G scale to cover a much larger Epson printer. The close up view shows the working clocks in the depot. As you can see, I like the streamliner period and have a combination of MTH steam and Diesel-electric streamliners, a Lionel Super Chief, and several clockwork trains.
Thanks much for all of the help and encouragement everyone on this board has provided since I started in on the O gauge.
