Very nice work!

Thanks jbrock.... It took me 2 weeks to build the Farm & all Scenery.. & another couple of HRS to install into layout space... Now All I got to do is fill in remaining scenery around Farm... I think it turned out nice...

Very nice work so far! I love it! Would your layout happen to be set in the North east? It looks a lot like the hill around the tri-state area to me (maybe that's just my bias though). By the way,  must know, What on earth is that air compressor for?

It powers the switch motors on the turnouts.

Umm you can say the Northeast... But for the most part I just modeled a free lanced Mountain scene I live in Eastern PA Home of the Lehigh Valley Railroad & I border two Mountains on both sides of me. So being I live in the VALLEY of them I figured I would shoot for something close to that affect....

Thank you for posting pictures of your railroad.   It looks like a lot of hard work has gone into it.   There is one thing I would like to point out.  In one of the first two or three pix,  it appears wherever a nail has been put through a tie and driven into the sub roadbed,  the ties appear to be flexed down.   Be careful.   When a nail is driven in too far and the tie flexes downward,  you run the risk of drawing the rails toward each other,  thus putting the track out of gauge.  But again,  loved the pix.   Would love to see more.

Very nice lookin' RR. I like the pneumatic switch control. I have same engine house . I pulled it from layout thinking it 's style is  too German or European. My present one is a 2 stall .But now since I'm not alone might go back to the Euro looking one so as to have another yard track..
