I finally got the inner loop finished on the display layout I maintain at a local shopping center. To fit in with the other O-gauge equipment in a limited space, I decided to go with On30. Here are a couple of shots of the daily "Bumblebee", with a Mogul hauling a combine and coach along the 'Barnyard' branch line:





The loco and cars are Bachmann, the track is Trix so I don't have to depend on rail joiners for electrical connectivity.

And yes, that's "Brewster" getting ready to cross the bridge in the background with a couple of passenger cars.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

It looks cool. Do you have to harvest the corn before you can get the tractor in the shed? :-)
Feel like a Mogul.

Again, way cool.

Tractor?? Who needs a tractor when ol' Bessie is right out there in the barn?

Actually, the house, barn and shed locations are temporary, that's just where I stuck them when I had to stop work for the holidays. The house and shed will be getting shifted around a bit and permanently attached to the access hatch.

The barn will stay on the fixed table, but also moved slightly. I'll also be adding a fence to keep the livestock from wandering onto the track and roads. Eventually I'll be adding a Woodland Scenics 'Roadside Farmers Market' near the raod that passes the barn.
