I love seeing new or different ideas, for instance, on both Jim's and Walt Huston's layouts, I was really struck with how well their dark green fascia's blended seamlessly in with their railroads. Indeed, I almost failed to notice their fascia's at all it was so well done! But I did note, and photographed Jim's town schematics for me to steal - er - borrow for my own layout.<br /><br />On a local layout that I op on each month, I try to acknowledge the various projects that Karin and Bob have done since the last session, and likewise, thank them for both their hospitality and for sharing their railroad with us operators!Brian Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13790911237509546821noreply@blogger.com
