In another thread JDaddy had asked for some photos of my layout. So, not wanting to disappoint a fellow model railroader, I took a few overall shots tonight. As you can see, I have many miles to go! The layout is 12 x 17 with two levels with one mainline on each. The lower level will eventually have some sidings for accessories. I decided to go 100% with Ross track and switches. Here's two overall shots: This is my current project - finishing up the backdrop along the back wall and starting a tunnel. The rest of the back wall. Just about every picture I've posted on OGF has been taken in this area. The lower area will eventually hold the coal ramp and loader. The back corner: The backdrop along the side wall was provided by my mom. She took the picture while on one of her trips to West Virginia. The front area. This is where the sawmill and small town will go. So, that's the 2 cent tour. JDaddy - let me know if that's what you had in mind or if there are other pictures you wanted to see.

Great layout! The double bridge walk-through section is inspired. Very impressive.

Nice. You are building a great layout. Those bridges are an engineering accomplishment.
How did you enlarge your Mother's photo?
Nicely done.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! Much appreciated!
Wood - I gave my mom the dimensions I wanted and she sent it out to have it printed, but I don't know where.

The layout looks great! I want to comment about the two bridge walk through section. Very nicely done. I'm working on something very similar using a method someone on that other forum shared with us.
