Home Page Photos

These are the current photos in background rotation on the home page. Click the photo below to see the larger version used on the home page. Each weekend a new photo is added to the top of the list, so there is always something new to see. To maintain that pace, we need your photo (contact the webmaster).

John Clifford has built an 8' x 10' A.C. Gilbert-based layout with Bachmann Plasticville structure, and he shares a couple of photos of it on his layout page.

Paul Washburn has been working on expanding his layout. It now includes a peninsula. He has the track, wiring, and the Del-Aire system (for controlling the turnouts) all done. He sent a number of photos, which you can see on his layout page.

Bill Winans was able to participate in an operating session on Jim Spice's Sn3 layout, and took some photos for us to enjoy. You can see them all on this page.

Alex sent in a few more photos of his layout. He is wanting to start a new layout, but he has not yet brought himself to tearing the existing one down. Judging from the photos, we can all imagine that that would indeed be a very hard decision. Alex is a Frenchman modeling in Sn3. He has written a book about his layout, and you can see more photos on this page.

Warren Judge has a very nice display layout that shows what can be done with Sn2. He provided information and photos of his 4' x 6' layout, clearly showing that one doesn't need much space to build a beautiful layout in S-scale. You can view more photos on this page.

The Reading is moving into New Jersey. Bill took this photo of his Reading collection, steam and diesel trains pulling both freight and passenger trains.

On the modules of the Pittsburgh S-Gaugers, an interchange car from the Penn Creek Valley prompts a discussion between two workers on how the passing of the Penn Creek's president, noted S modeler Sam Powell, prompted the moving of the entire railroad from Maryland to Pennsylvania in 2016! The coal yard was modeled by members of the Pittsburgh S-Gaugers; rolling stock is a mix of brass imports, plastic models, A.F. conversions, and wood kits.

Tom Hess has had to dismantle his layout this past month, but photos were taken of this beautiful layout before its demise. You can see more photos and a description of Tom's layout on this page.

"Who let the dogs out?" Bill Lane is well-known for having a collection of Dachshunds at home. We don't know if the owners of CatzPaw Innovations are aware of that, but they have produced a couple of Dachshund models in S-scale. Bill's scene shows a number of them. You get several per package. Be sure to visit the CatzPaw web site, if you are wanting to add animals to your layout or diorama; they have a good number of them.
