Would love to incorporate some of this layout into my dream layout. Time to get the old graff paper, compass, pencils and stuff out!
This is a fantastic layout, paying tribute to the memory of those who rode those rails, like my Grandmother, from L.A. to Chicago to New Brunswick NJ. Thank you for the inspiration to build my dream layout!
