NTS&B De plane Boss, De plane

I finally got around to hanging my fleet of aircraft.  It is a small collection of 2 C130s I got while at Lockheed, a Space Shuttle from Kennedy Space Center, and a couple others.   I cut circles out some clear plastic from something we bought, and painted them to match the propellers.  Here are a couple pictures.

NTS&B Rearranged shelves on end of room

I am getting a number of Lionel 4x4x0 Americans (Lionel calls them Generals) engines,l which were not fitting well on the way I had the shelves positioned.   I spent a couple days and moved the longer, wider shelf from the left side of the room to the right side, and rearranged most of the contents on the shelves. I now have room for a few more Generals.   Here are a couple pictures.

NTS&B New home for Roadrunner Shack

I didn’t have room at the end of the mainline for the Roadrunner Shack, and had this unused area underneath the mainline by the bay that I couldn't figure out what to do with.  I decided to move the 'Shack' there, and tried my hand at painting a typical cartoon type Roadrunner Scene where the Coyote paints a road and tunnel in the side of a mountain and the Roadrunner runs through it, but Wile W Coyote cant . As you can tell, I'm definitely not an artist, but I think it works OK.

NTS&B More work on mainline scenery

Now that I have the mainline tracks finalized, as much as they will ever be, I can resume work on some of the scenery items.  I had to move the Roadrunner Shack to a different area, and move the church to the opposite side of the road to have enough clearance for the big engines.  I was also finally to lay in the horse fence on the shop end of the layout since I had the big engines to check clearance with. Here are the pictures.
