Guys: The photos submitted to the group by Steve Doyle and Mike Marmer beautifully illustrate the wide range of artistic expression that is possible within this great hobby of ours.
Both layouts are masterfully executed. Mike's is a beautifully-presented, Flyer-based creation that blends the old with the new, while transporting usback to the days those department store display layouts that got our juices flowing at Christmas time. Looking beyond the layout surface, one sees an inviting train room lined with nostalgic displays of historic equipment. Steve's scale layout is a scenic delight that can hold its own against any layout in any other scale. The big city is impressive, but it's his artfully-arranged farm scene that really pulls me in. The backdrop looks great. Hand-painted still holds a greater appeal for me than photographic. Congratulations to you both. It lmakes me think there are good looking layouts out there in our scale to warrant a soft cover book to highlight them. Something along the lines of "Great Model Railroads", only exclusively S-scale.
