Boy this group is active today--Yes, that blob on the extreme left is
actually the edge of a lift up as I'm standing in that area, so I'm
actually looking behind my point of view. There are also some trees
lying down that we removed for some service work. The thing sticking up
behind the Leigh Valley feed mill doesn't belong to the layout--not
really sure what it is! The shelving area in the middle of the shot is
my collection of original AF and some modern OMI brass engines. The
main shelf area above that really junkie area (called a workbench) are
my more modern freight cars that I take to our modular display setups.
And yes I have lot's of old photos, some of mine, some artwork and some
memorabilia that I couldn't resist. I couple of items are pretty neat
but some is really just junk--but it's my junk. To the right of the
shelf and partially covering the window is a Plexiglas mirror angled at
about a 45 degree. The mirror allows an operator to see behind the
large roundhouse where a major turnout is located. A track-lite mounted
spotlight really helps in that effort.
One thing that I'll mention about my modern car storage shelf you might
find useful--it's deep enough to store two cars side by side. I also
used a router to cut grooves to hold the flanges so the cars will not
run away unto the floor without a great deal of help. I don't know if
the flangeways follow NMRA/NASG specs! <G>
Thanks again,

I lied, and on a Sunday too! I said on Friday that I might try another
panoramic view of my layout in the--future. Well the future happened.
In this case I tried the opposite side of the room and covered somewhat
over 180 degrees. I think there are six exposures. I did exceed that
Photo-shop is capable of putting together without weird results. If you
can't see them great! This happens when one gets too close and the
overlap of the various angles doesn't make sense to photo shop, so it
punts the best it can.
Anyway that's the rest of the story!
