Western Train lay out
« on: October 20, 2009, 23:14:06 »
Well due to Glazz's inspiration I decided to redo my layout and use his suggestion of tables. I really do not know what I was thinking putting it on the floor of a barn with the dogs and cats that come in ( d'oh! ) . I took a bunch of wine bottle boxes to the warehouse and cleared some room. I took some pictures of the mess before I took it down and here it is .









New lay out pictures soon to follow, kids just got home from school and it is time to play

Ras, I love the picture showing the American Indians in the kid's pull along wagon!

You can quickly have an "Indian raid" on the settlers, the town or the fort at a moment's notice. The poor "palefaces" will never know what hit 'em ...  ;D

Looking forward to seeing your Western layout soon being raised to new heights ...  ;)

Ok now here is the new and improved version . It has so much more play potential for myself and the kids and those pesky animals should be less of a problem . Since I did this this afternoon the kids came home and we elaborated on it even further . We ran out of room and also need to find out switches ( it is amazing how pricey G scale is ) and will keep showing as we work on it .

Lovely!, I would use a lighter type of cloth or green because the colour is now too much like some of the buildings.
It appears you have to much turns and not enough straights ;). I bought a lot of secondhand straights a couple of years ago, they looked like the had been in somebody's garden for 20 years (they probably had). But after a good cleaning  they looked like new!

Looking good so far Rasputin! Although I have to agree with highland cattle about your foundation color needing to be a lighter color in some areas to accent the buildings!
