My dad was the same. I recall a Chessie System HO diesel he purchased for me one Christmas. Nice HO. It was this puppy here: Anyway, he got me a 4x8 cork board type deal covered it with the sheets of ugly green grass that was sold at the time. Set up the track and off I went hauling freight.

I'm thinking times are changing though. Kids today appear to be setting up the new laptop or xbox together. I guess the smell of new electronic hardware heating up will linger in their memories for decades to come.

My Dad said the same thing but the reality was that he was too busy playing with the train set himself. "It's not ready yet" rings a bit hollow from a guy wearing an engineers cap making choo choo noises!

Been working on a roundhouse for my locomotives all winter and I finally got a section finished enough to move them in and see what they look like.

August, repeat what everyone else said. It looks great. The lighting really sets it off.
The only thing keeping it from looking real is the inside looks too clean.

I agree it looks too clean and I have plans to deal with that. Eventually I envision tool benches along the back wall, equipment like welding rigs and the like between the locomotives and people, lots of workers. Everything with a healthy coat of the grime and soot one might find in a 1970's roundhouse. I made the roof able to come off so I can get access for that very purpose.
