alcoRS1

nearly complete glue the corking and track in the 3rd section, this leaves one sections left, which is the small hidden staging area. Yesterday I made a single track on the far end of the stage a river front rail to a small boat dock, and on top of the hidden staging is a small city scene with passenger line that runs a jay and runs above part of the layout. I am trying to make my layout as industrial as possible so running a communter line above the small business should give a unique look. Been looking for buildings and working semaphore signals for my branch line. will post some pictures in the coming days

Chelatchie Prairie Railroad they have an Alco S1. I like your layout.

I have 7 alcos so far, and planning on a few more, Where I live there is only one Alco left, it on the end of the county line part of a preservation line.

here is a rough cut video of the layout, the layout is only 3 weeks old, so please be patient. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6KtCXcMQ6g

The Gulf tank cars are made by walthers, they are cheap, $10 each, I pick them of eBay. they have been some of the best running trucks I have ever had too. the Alcos RS-1 is an Atlas, No 50 I painted myself, seeing they have not produced SP&S RS-1 for a while, but I found #54 last saturday and had to purchase it. The Alco H15-44 is also Atlas. The other SP&S is a Alco RS-2, also made by atlas.

This is it, my layout, a Spokane Portland and Seattle railway scene based around a small industrial area. The layout is basically a roundy round, accept the bottom part is really a hidden 5 track staging area. I chosen the SP&S who were based locally around here, but are now part of the great BNSF. My time frame is 1960's, early 70's. Road names that were common where SP&S, UP, NP, GN, SP and every now and then CNW, MILW and DRGW. This should keep me busy. I love tank cars, military trains, and ALCO RS-1, RS-2, RS-3, dam it all alco RS's and GP 7 and 9's. my gallery can be found gallery but here is some of them worth showing here track plan can be seen in the gallery.

wow that is really cool, nice job. (no drool smily face).

Here is my fist blog on the new site, confusing, and I was so used to the old. Been working on a new layout now for 2 weeks, I have all the base wood in Track laid down and have been working on glue the cork and track in place, running the electrical wires. My father is coming out from the UK at the end of the months so I want the lower level of the layout track work 100% complete, other than ballast, and hopefull the second layer, which is just a point to point going though a hidden section, of an over head commuter line.
