John has sent in this information about his O layout for publication.

My layout is very large 26 X 24. It consists of a very detailed project.

I do not place buildings, switch towers etc. just to have all acc. working. Half of my L.O. consists of a oil refinery with derricks and storage tanks with smoke stacks and billowing smoke(cotton). Also in the refinery are many pipes leading to the tanks and all is very detailed.

In the midlle of L.O. is the rail yard with a large scrap yard in between two tracks that are switched to the main track for loading with 2 cranes Operating. On the far side leading down a lonhwy is a service station and a motel with a coaling station in the rear.

When you arrive in town there is a Hospital, police station , fire house, church and cemetery with three stores of a mexican flavor and resturant. All this is connected by hwy and bridges and in the center of all is my access that is covered by fake water and rocks with water fall.

I have two operating trains with a large elevated tressel that proceeds next to a large mountain with trees and hanging grass. The are 11 signal bridges(2-153s) that have dwarf signals. The back of LO is formed and painted rocks with a waterfall. Quite immpressive. Many other things not listed.
