Amazing detailed landscaping and scenery - please post some more.
I have an item in my to do list to build an N scale layout

Thanks for the great comment and the 3 thumbs up. I will post more photos a little later. Start that N scale and have fun. On my earlier post I mentioned the great Reed Bros. N scale layout. One of the best I've ever seen. :) :) :)

WOW, that is beautiful. My previous next door neighbor had his entire basement as his set-up and that was with "O" gauge.

Dick, that is beautiful work on both the layout and the photography. I was into HO with my son years ago & thoroughly enjoyed it. Sadly, no room now. Your Apache canyon reminded me of the classical Gore & Dephetid of yesteryear.

Thanks for that great comment Werewolf. I went with HO gauge because it's half the cost.... Not true but should be.

I love HO gauge. It's not too small not to have great detail and a majority of automotive models are in 1/43 or even 1/82 which are great for dioramas with the trains.

I wish. My sister lives in Lisle. Maybe I can use her as an excuse. Lol.Yes, they are usually on the 1st weekend of the month, but this month it is on the 10th & 11th. I went to another show at the Lake Co fairgrounds in Grayslake, IL last weekend. Not quite as big as Wheaton, but lots of fun. I'm going to Wheaton to buy a couple of Lionel items I saw at Grayslake but couldn't afford till my pension checks came in. Maybe I'll see you there.

An artist and a builder. Like your layouts, towns and scenery.

Well, thank you Michael. I don't know about the artist bit. I got a lot of information from old Model RR programs on PBS-11, here in the Chicago area. They were great. Everything from layouts to building them. I taped some of them and plan to put them on DVDs.
Thanks for the 2 thumbs up.

Thanks for the kind comments woody. Sorry about you not having the room. That's one of the problems with that hobby. Mine is in a 16 by 20 ft. back building. Depth is the big problem photographing miniatures.
