Scenic renditions. Nothing large, more or less each depicts a scenes from my youth as I remember them. Each area of my layout has something that instills a memory and it was how I built my layout, to remember those memories.

Thanks Wood. This is the track plan and makes it much easier to understand than if I tried to describe it. The three tracks at the bottom are a proposed staging/train storage yard so it would be easier to put trains onto or take them off of the layout. As you can see the track that goes under the residential area is the track in front of my town/city. I like your track plan. What radius did you use? The upper mainline is O31 and the lower is O36. O36 is the biggest curve I could use on the return curve on the left side of the layout because I had to clear the door, but since I only run traditional size trains O36 curves are fine.

You did good. I like the track plan and your scenery.

Andy, That is Terrific!!! I know the perspective is a little skewed, but this view makes it possible to know the relationship of Mineola, Locust Valley and Oyster Bar. You can clearly see where you will be operating and where your visitors can wander. Not to mention the potential for murals and decorations. I am liking these Panoramic picture. Thanks for posting.  A little PS. I have a local train friend with a big layout and he was able to buy 2'x4' Fluorescent lite covers that had clouds in them. Don't know where he bought then but it was cool. |

Thanks Wood. I hoped it provided the relationship between the different areas.

Panoramic? Well I have some pictures but everything is work in progress... I cannot get one shot with everything in it!
JD You are the one with that great trestle and rock work. I remember that from way back. Beautiful work. Thank you for these pics. We will definitely do a week on rock work. I would like to learn your technique

That's some awesome scenery and trestle work, Daddy. Well Wood, I tried, but just can't seem to get the Pano technique down. I decided not to sign up for Flickr, so here's just another run-of-the-mill photo. Works for me. Good perspective. Great snow scene and track work. Looks like fun. What did you use to create the snow?

I gave panoramic photos a try. This is the result.   It looks a little weird but does show the whole layout. |

I don't know why the second photo came out upside down. That is very weird.
Edit note: I figured it out and fixed it.

I have no suggestions because my pics were the first time I ever tried panoramic. Andy's came out beautiful. We'll just have to practice a little more.
