I love it too Lee! It's so much fun to build and even more fun adding buildings and doing the landscaping. In 4 attempts at building a layout, I could never finish one, due to various reasons and then having kids. Ended up selling all my stuff...

Great work Lee....it would be great to see it in person. Just a shame you're on the other side of 'the pond'!
Andrew, grab your rubber ducky tube and start swimming Buddy!!! I'm sure Lee would meet you at the shoreline with dry clothes and a hot cuppa...

Prost

Believe or not my oldest daughter want a layout when she was around 8 so I bought her a train set that year and finally got around to building her a layout (this one) and she lost interest Sports got in the way so I decided to take it over and run with it.

Model railroads are meant to never be finished. Extensions, improvements to everything, additional rolling stock & locos are normal activities.
You are so right Paul seems when your done with the scene you was working on you find something else to improve it. Never ending. But that what makes Model Railroading so fun.

Took these pics tonight while out in the garage I bought this HO Walthers FA unit last winter. Maybe I’ll get a video of it running and post it. The White 9000 truck I Custom built years ago and redone it a couple years ago. The Red Star Express trailer is one I Custom built also copied the decals on water slide paper instead of the peel and stick like they came. More pics later. 397A0B04-C191-46BF-A55D-47C242515B07.jpeg98A35727-AA32-4F1D-8D2D-14C95C69D333.jpeg429D986A-71D6-40BB-97C4-97BA59B19943.jpeg79366ACA-5D5F-4F20-BE91-794E8C3D40FC.jpegD996D77E-E76F-4E83-A483-5524B3105C8F.jpeg
