Very nice to see all the pictures of Glazz's layout. Its always enjoyable to see it .

What scale were the other pictures? Those pictures of the roundhouse were very nice. I really want a LGB turntable for a proper roundhouse diorama

Most are N with a few HO, the tags on the right should give an indication if I remembered. The big roundhouse is N for certain. it would take a lot of space to do a full on in G. It definitely would be a fun project though

I use a Canon PowerShot SX210 IS for both stills and video.
The dark shots were actually taken early the next morning when we were back to finish setting up.

nice shots for a point and shoot!

Thanks for the excellent photos and video, Tim.

That's some work crane custom!

The fact that the railway is raised for so much of it's length gives me some idea how my layout might end up looking as it will all be raised.

He's done an interesting thing there. The railway itself is all on a single level but many of the foreground areas are dropped down, and it's certainly possible to raise the background with platforms as well.  With the differing levels in the foreground you really do get the feel that it's not just one big flat space.

I like the idea of having lower and higher areas of a diorama. We do our shows on the ground so I have to figure out a way. The way glazz has the diffrent elevations is quite a nice effect. It really looks good where the water is lower than the land.

The only problem with that type or crane is getting it stabilized so you can use it

Yep, looks great as long as you don't turn the cab. It tips badly then. A heavy center weight was my first thought. Did you ever come up with a solution you were happy with?
