This is the thread to share your HO train layout!!
So after a positive reaction and interest from other forum members i decided to add a dedicated thread for my layout. Irs a continuing work in progress that i am still working on. So from time to time will add photos of the layout, trains, and related. I based this layout on my hometown and neighboring towns. The buildings i used are very similiar to what i see locally, and painted as such. I run Norfolk Southern, CSX, Norfolk Western , Southern, and Union Pacific, all which have traveled my area. So without further chatter here is a few pics of my hobby. Some i have posted before, but sone i have not. I have this based on present day era.

I agree. For RR model colors I like the dull side of semi gloss, like Milwaukee's older colors, Union Pacific, Santa Fe and BNSF (local RR here colors). Same for rolling stock. CN seems to favor the darker color too, might have to do with the coal haulers. Some of those are good size, 3 pullers, mid engine and a pusher on the end. "Seems" like the pusher is doing all the work
, but they are long HEAVY cars and limited to 35 mph because of weight. Mostly run nights, less traffic through rural America ? They also cross the Mississippi East of here through Dubuque into Illinois. The bridge there rotates for barge traffic and the trains. There's a lock and dam just up river. Pikes Peak Park is a nice place to waist a day just watching the world go by on the River and RR.
ExactlyMore of the fun.
