Here are a series of photos showing the layout as it looks today, almost finished. I still need to add tons of trees plus some guardrails in places, particularly between the Nitro yard office and Davis Wholesale, but otherwise, it’s done!

I have been a railfan since the age of 6, and a modeler since the age of fourteen. This is my first fully (well not quite) completed model railroad. I fell in love with trains early in life, ride them when I can, have volunteered on many steam fan trips and have ridden many more steam excursion trips, have belonged to several model rr clubs, and did a stint as a brakeman/conductor on a midwest regional railroad. My layout was published in Model Railroader magazine in 2016. I hope all of you enjoy the ride here on my sites! I now have the second blog/website up for my other hobby: wargaming with Flames Of War. I have been involved in wargaming off and on since my teens......

Nicely done Steve! My shelf layout is not quite this far along with scenery, etc. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you Stan for the kind words, they’re much appreciated! I think I posted quite awhile ago when I hit a certain milestone visitor wise that one of my main reasons for this website and posting in group pages and one forum I’m no longer in was to show what can be done with a small layout, or shelf layouts, and that hopefully I would perhaps inspire a modeler to build this type of layout, or finish one. I know from posts such as yours and private emails that I have succeeded
Congratulations on completing structure work! That’s a fantastic milestone and one to celebrate. Yes, there are always trees or details, cars or locomotives, automobiles, etc… to add, but getting all the structures done is amazing. That, and they all look like they fit in the spots where they are. Nothing is oddly colored or out of place. That takes an artists eye. Bravo! Keep on doing great modeling!
