Well it's rained here in Alabama about every day for the last 3 weeks, so I decided to build a new layout. So here it is. It's a 5x9 withh 22 radius curves so all these dashes can run smooth. I still have some cleaning up and detailing to do.
Here's some better pics

Wow! Looks like a beauty there, Jeremy!  
22 radius curves to boot...looks like an excellent little layout.

| Looks nice! Good call on the 22" curves. I was hoping to buy some wide cab units someday, so I guess I should plan my turns accordingly. Looks like there are just two sidings on it right now?

Microbuss, that will be my next investment, working grade crossings. Actually Chris, there are 3 sidings. There is the the grain silo and intermdal, but there is also one between the Mcgraw oil and Moore and Company. I kitbashed the grain silos by cutting it in half will a bandsaw, I put the other side on ebay and got just abot what I paid for it, so I have nothing in it. The structures are mostly used, some of the Tyco kits are 7 up, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Exxon, and 2 more I put together. I think the most expensive area is downtown, used a lot of DPM kits and they can get expensive. I also used some paper buidings downloaded free from state of Illinois build your own main street. I wish I had a better camera, to show some of the detail I'm adding.

Hi- as you've said before, we both have similiar ideas about our layouts. I love this one! Any chace you could find a link to where you printed those paper buildings from? Also-just wanted to make sure you got my payment for those trucks. Thanks!

Here's the link Jacob, and yes I got your message. I used up my printer ink printing 4 of them, so not exactly free.
