What's your best layout pic?

I'm still building on my layout and I'm going through withdrawls.  I have the blue desert going on over here.

Inspire me with the best pic you have of your layout!

Lets see it!  Don't be shy!

Re: What's your best layout pic?

I hope this helps you until you get your next railroad 'fix'. It's not my layout - it belongs to a good friend of mine. I hope you enjoy.

Re: What's your best layout pic?

I am torn between two, so I hope I can be forgiven for showing both and letting you decide.  Obviously, they have been doctored by adding skies.

Here's mine. It's still temporary scenery, but it came out good.

Re: What's your best layout pic?

Great stuff guys!  Everything from snake oil salesmen to huge trestles, and everything in between!  This is putting me in the mood to press on!

Oh, and selector, I like them both, but I think the first one has the edge!

Trainmanty, great detail shot!

Re: What's your best layout pic?

     I guess this would be one of my favorites , the yards lite up at night and the TMI shops in the background.

I'd go with this one, a BLI Hudson pulling a short freight:

Re: What's your best layout pic?

Okay, how about this:  A LV caboose brings up the rear of a short local.  This is a shot from a few years ago, when I did a little scenery, instead of track work.

I'll jump in with a shot of Railfan Park in the town of Adobe Flat.

PS I'm with Phillip.  I like selector's first shot better.

Re: What's your best layout pic?

Man!  You guys are awesome!  You all been hiding this stuff!  Look at the work presented here!  Now I've got to go lay some more track so I can move to getting rid of the "Blue Desert". 

Keep 'em comin'!

Re: What's your best layout pic?

My problem is that I don't really consider myself a very good photographer, but here's a few shots of the Yuba River Sub that I think are relatively passable.
