more pictures of that "layout"? yes just a few more. These will be the last photos until me and my bro ( no account here ) start putting something together. we don't have alot of space ( probs 4x 6 or 4x7) so oh well. Here are some photos of the room layout including my bachmann f7a santa fe loco ( i might be wrong ) my walthers trainline csx boxcar my bachmann magnolia tanker and a up passenger car i got at a train show a while ago. Also a tyco burlington engine with a tyco bn boxcar plus other things. Enjoy!

Very nice pics, Komodo! I especially like the UP passenger car. I've never seen one that was double-height, before. Down here, we do not have passenger trains at all, except for excursion trains from museums and such. Do they run cars like that where you live?

not that much anymore, the only passanger train probs close to where i live ( and still far away ) would be an amtrak or a scenic route
the up rr is pretty far away from here ( probably 4 to 5 states!!!!!!!!!)

the up passenger is pretty messed up. One side has 2 levels the other has one and there are some strange white dots on the top right side. but i like it =)

more like 2500 :p. half the time when i wanted 2 second timer i pushed 2 button timer, and it took 10 seconds to take the pic and im like what??? and then it takes another one 2 seconds later :p. but then again thx for the tips ( and finding the guide) the picture quality is a lot better than the video quality on that camera.

Pictures plus update! My nice uncle who is into trains gave us some stuff, a train musuem by where he lived had a huge model train layout and someone died and he gave the train musuem his trains. so my uncle picked up a bunch of cars ( about 20 for (he said) 1 dollar each, and then two engines). Although this stuff is over 10 years old, its still nice.
now pics of some stuff i got at the train shop a few weeks ago ( i will get a pick of the new layout sometime) the bachmann b23-7, 1991.
