LAST CALL FOR BUMSVILLE...ALL ABOARD ! ! !
The small town of Bumsville got a lot of damage during the move, so I'm not gonna let you see to much of it yet. Pops was in the middle of some corigated construction as you can see in this photo. Ha Ha in the upper left you can see a BUM leaning on a lamp post. Also, the Amtrak engine in this shot is so far the only one I have that has been able to pull 30 cars around this track. I had put 3 engines on the 30 car train and they couldnt do it, but this baby did. 30 cars is easy to pull but there are a lot of curves and hills in this layout, which makes it tough on a single engine.
The main yard is nice and clean. Each engine has it's own home.
The twin silver and red Santa Fe loco's are awsome to watch and to hear. When these babys run , you can hear the power of 2, I also have a b-unit that goes between them to make it a 3 engine powerhouse.

One of the many awsome cardboard buildings
The whole layout is full of differant style buildings. I noticed that he dated each piece and as the dates got closer to current the buildings slowly became more detailed. All the gravel in the layout is actually bird grit. This picture shows a engine refueling station, it was slightly damaged too. The set really doesn't have a meaning, just small bits and pieses of the life of a train.

THATS A PRETTY BIG QUARTER YA GOT THERE
The quarter in this shot gives ya reality of the size of a N-Scale train, if you lined up 4 quarters on a table, they would be longer then one of these loco's. The river here, even as murky as it looks, still gives off a great reflection of the front of one of the War Bounett engines.

I can almost picture someone behind the wheel of that there flat bed truck.
I kept saying to shootist, "hold the camera low hold the camera low" haha. Some shots from the inner worl are always nice. This one gives life to the set. You can even see the yellow cab of a semi peaking over the fence.

A bright morning sun creates realistic shadows
Lighting is the hardest part about getting good shots of the set, aaa mmmmm and battery power.

A night time shot of the main yard almost looks real...
This is awsome. Notice the silver pin heads between the tracks, thats whats holdin the track down in many places.To the extreme right you can see a power station, with a close look, you can see right threw the corigation of the cardboard.
