Gee Wood, that’s one heck of a rendition. I like the panoramic pictures, I’ll try and do that with my layout too. I look forward to see this thread evolve.

Your work is excellent. This is the space before the Hotel was developed. It laid empty for a couple of years. I could not find something I liked and then I read about the Rail Road companies in the late 19th century building these magnificent hotels and that's where the idea came from. The Canadian Pacific built this hotel in 1890.

Beautiful pan photos, Wood! I tried taking pan shots for the first time with my cell (iPhone) of the layout last night, then tried to download them this morning. But I got a message stating that there was too much picture, so it couldn't be downloaded. The pan photos I took showed the whole layout all right, but with distorted, curved sides. Looks like I need more practice. I'd rather look at your layout than mine, anyway.

For the Panoramic, same thing happened to me. Try taking a shot from each corner and worst case scenario just take a couple of standard pics over different parts. Glad you got your handle.

Since my layout is an E shape that fills the room it's impossible to get a single overall photo. These 2 photos are the best I can do. They give a pretty good idea of the whole layout. 20191203_120944 by Joe, on Flickr 20191203_120956 by Joe, on Flickr

Thanks Joe, That is a good overall shot of the layout. I've been following you for a while and have watched this layout mature step by step. Looking good.
I can not remember the underground track shown in the second picture. Is that for storage or does it come up somewhere?

Hi Spice7, I see you are a relatively new member, which by the way, we all are. Do you have a layout or are you building a layout? Even if you are just beginning, post some pics and let us see what you've got going.

This is a terrific idea for a weekly thread. I am a huge proponent of scenery as it makes any train layout better.
Wood and I have had many discussions about scenery and the projects that he has undertaken. I believe that his scenery efforts have greatly improved his enjoyment of our hobby. The Banff Hotel was a very ambitious undertaking and he did an excellent job with his rendition of it. The scene with the mountain backdrop is outstanding and certainly a major focal point on Wood's layout. To add to Wood's start, our Grand Central Terminal complex immediately comes to mind. Layout size and available space have a huge impact as to what can be accomplished. We were working with a smaller space than before. I wanted to build the entire City portion of the layout around the GCT. There was a lot to consider as the GCT would have two levels, the main street level and the upper level for the GCT Base. I visualized bridges on either sode of the base unit, connecting the surrounding streets. Thanks to Harry Hieke who was there with me all the way in my planning, it all turned out better than anticipated.
