My Layout

[Ken Huck]

Here's some pictures of my layout.  The photo quality isn't the best but you
should get a pretty good idea of my operation.  The two lower levels consist
of a folded dog-bone which provide continuous running with two sidings and
a lot of spurs, along with small turntable (big enough to turn my Shays and
Heisler) and a small yard.  The upper lever is a reverse loop.

This is the scratch-build matchstick trestle on the 'downside' of the reverse
loop.

Here's two and the stack of a third my Bachmann Shays.  I have four

This is the Woodland Scenics Moonshine still installed just above the turntable.

The fourth Bachmann Shay out to pick up a work crew.

The rest of the Bachmann Shay that you only saw the smokestack of in the
second picture.

The only other motive power I have is a Mantua 2-6-6-2.  It doesn't get
used very much...it's just too much fun watching those Shay's.  The coaling
and water tower are scratch-built items.

This is a Campbell kit of an ore mine.  I can't remember the name of the kit
but two Bachmann Ore cars are taking their turns on getting filled.

Everybody needs a junkyard.  These are Jordan kits.

Here's my scratch-built turntable, I got the plans from Model Railroader
magazine February 1987 issue

Well, that's pretty much about it, I still got a lot of scenery to go yet but I
keep getting side-tracked (pun intended).

I use ImageShack to host my pictures.  Hope you enjoy them

Ken, What are you talking about? The pictures are great! Very, very good job. I love the weathering on the shays. That bridge is a work of art. Have you entered it in a model contest. Looks like a winner to me.

Hey Ken, thank you so much for sharing your layout. At my age I'm not easily impressed, but your workmanship really got my attention. Fantastic.

I was surprised at the images from "Image Shack". I have a slooooow dialup, but the images loaded really fast. Good photography and thoughtful consideration for those wishing to view the images.
