I have a layout to show, but it's not mine... it's the Bach-man's!

I met with him both days at World's greatest hobby on tour this weekend, these pictures and videos were taken on the second day.  As I promised him, I wanted to show each feature of the layout to admire the Bach-man's work and effort into this and more importantly show everyone just how amazing this layout really turned out.  Huge thanks to Jack for putting this video together for me.

Whoa that's awesome. I always did like the Bachmann show laoyut.

I'll check Wikia, since that's how I posted them.
EDIT: They were removed. Oh, and could someone tell me how else I could post Photo's?

I use Photobucket - it's free

[branmas]

Other then Photobucket? Since my Mum won't let me join after we tried and it said I cant.

[Calebtrain]

I have a similar problem. I have pics, but I don't want photobucket.

Just curious - why?

I've been using them for years with no problems.

Photobucket is a good start, but there are other free photo hosts out there too, such as Imageshack.

Image hosting sites you might like.

I use Imageshack mainly. Both it and tinypic don't require an account to be made.

I'll join soon.

Recently redone all the track work on the layout, some sections were defective and power wasn't properly getting to the pickups of the models, so, all new track has been laid, mostly now use SMP fine-scale track linked to PECO using dual rail joiners, very smooth running and better power.
The sidings and goods yard are the only things left to finish up, so once they are sorted, the fun part of re-ballasting the track comes next, luckily, i bought a PROSES HO/OO ballast spreader off eBay for £9.99, which is very handy and easier to spread the ballast than trying to sprinkle it on from the bags.

If anyone else is ballasting their layouts, i would highly recommend getting one, it would save time and mess!

I have a humble 4x6 layout:

overall view.  I don't have tidmouth hooked up because I don't have another point.

You can see the jewels at the top of this pic...

one more pic.  you can see my collection just behind The sheds.  I will have a collection pic up later.

Any questions? just ask!

Why may I ask, and why would you even mention Canada and say not on eBay?
