I see you have an excellent hobby room. Could you post some larger images of the layout you have there?
Well, those are the only pictures of what I have so far as a layout. That's my whole gallery. All the models I've done.
The railroad is in N Scale (1/160). The theme is Post-Apocolyptic Lake County, Illinois following the Metra-Milwakee North Line. That's the old
Milwaukee Road Lines between Rondout and Fox Lake with interchanges with Canadian Pacific Trackage, Elgin, Joliet and Evanston Trackage and Illinois
Central/Canadian Northern Trackage as well. It's set after 2015 and in my future, Lake Michigan has retreated so much that there is access to huge
caves under the County in which my paramilitary rail force has commandeered. Fun stuff, huh? The Choedah & Amoconia Rail Road, or the C.A.R.R. for
short.
I have a good bit of rolling stock and a handfull of engines and as of right now it's still DC but before it's finished it will be converted to DCC
(AC).
The Armor and trucks are in 1/35th scale.
The GTO's, Buicks and other Pontiacs are either 1/32 or 1/25.
The figures are 1/35.
The buildings are all 1/160 N-scale.
The railroad layout is the long time work as I expect to work on it on and off for years to come. You never really finish a layout, you just improve
and tweak forever.
Kitbashing and scratchbuilding are THE BOMB! Nothing like it!
Now, there are no other scale modelers out there other than Ben and Gimme Football 400???
Chime in folks!
