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,

Bob Werre
