I have been modeling this free-lanced road the Lincoln Champaign and Peoria since the 1980s. The layout has taken many forms including a basement sized empire with two helixes. This is the 7th version of the road and the 5th 4x8 layout. I am about a year away from the next rebuild, expect it to go vertical in it's next incarnation.

I like the paint scheme of your motive power. Nice attention to detail on the layout also.

If you do show more photos, I'd like a closer look at that grain elevator and perhaps a word on how you got that peeling paint look, por favor.

These are some real veterans. The Gp-35 was the first powered unit in LC& P colors but was originally in the colors of the b-unit in the background. That b unit was the first model I ever painted myself and will remain in original the original colors. It was bought as a dummy but was the first true LC&P locomotive.

Great photos Steven. Do you think that merchandise freight is going to be slowed up after hitting that foolish horse? I dig that scene in the first photo with the guy sitting on a timber curb, tippin' up a bottle of beverage. Keep the photos comin', please. Thanks. Barry

I checked on the horse and he appears to be ok, just a little spooked. Here the LC&P shows its narrow gauge heritage with mogul old #2 on the point.

This is the future plan for the new LC&P. Construction will begin in about a year. The colored lines represent different levels of track separated by height. Dimensions will be roughly 5x10 and the whole thing will be on casters to be rolled out to the center of the room when running. The benchwork will begin at floor level and will rise up to about six feet in height with trains of 4 different gauges running on the various levels. HO, O27, HON30, and N. Sound crazy? Just wait till you see what tricks I have up my sleeve. I have been planning this monstrosity for years.

This is the one I have been talking about using dedicated DCC decoders on and permanently wiring them in to the individuals loops of track. There will be no physical connections to the loops as they will all be separated by elevation. Minimal turnouts, this thing is not going to be built for operating sessions, it is going to be strictly for watching trains run and rail fanning. I'm hoping for some great photographic opportunities on this one. One side will be a deep canyon in the style of John Allen while the other side of the layout will be an urban canyon with buildings stacked to the ceiling, a feast for the eyes me-thinks. I have been thinking that we sometimes sell ourselves short by thinking of our layouts in terms of square feet and not in cubic feet of volume.

A most unique layout. The interchange track work is a terrific bit. Enjoyed the decade by decade evolution of the concept. Myself, I find myself building things up, and then wanting to tear it down almost as soon as it is finished to start something new. You have achieved a patient discipline to keep refining and building on previous work. Well done.

Loving these closeup pics of your layout. It's got real depth to it, lots of little details that can be discovered. And that passenger depot gets it just right, the mix of old and new, the gravel lot with the brick pavers....I could look at stuff like this for hours.

It is a re-enactment of an actual event, I did my fair share of street racing and cruising back in the day. There was a regular at many of the events that I attended who drove an orange street rod called Larry's Express that was a dead ringer for the one in the pic. We all got in our fair share of trouble for doing burnouts and such.

There's the old Athearn Hustler that I saw in the first picture. I can't believe how much that layout has changed over the years.

If I remember correctly, the orange Ford was made by Micro-Machines. The tiny caboose is an all metal construction and I don't know who made it but the sprung trucks don't roll very well and the thing is so heavy that it would make a good boat anchor. I got it to go with a logging set that I am putting together.

This one is for schaggy, the elevator is an old Suydam all wood craftsman style kit that I did back in the late 1980's and it is still kickin. The peeling paint was done with multiple layers of drybrush applied over a few spots of rubber cement. The decals were given several coats of setting solution to get them to bond with the board detail.

The proximity of the LC&P in Northern Illinois to Chicago can lead to a bottleneck of interchange an run through traffic especially at Hillside JCT. Here the NKP and NYC rub elbows.

Pan shots like that are hard enough to get in full size. In HO, it must have taken some real doing. Nice shot!

Is that consolidation a Tyco or IHC?

Light and running repairs are performed at the LC&P Company Diesel shop in South Peoria. The existing six axle fleet is in the process of being upgraded for DPU to handle an expected increase in frac-traffic.

Pan shots like that are hard enough to get in full size. In HO, it must have taken some real doing. Nice shot!

Is that consolidation a Tyco or IHC?

I think it's a IHC due to the front bogey and the tender you can kind of see. Also, it looks like it's loco driven.

Great photo. Cool lighting. I dig the light reflected off the cars.
