The Youtube vids are very enjoyable and well worth a little time to view. Ditto what Mike Rector said.

  Incredible work!!
  You have captures the colors and terrain and character of the Appalachians better than many I've seen before.

  There are a few panoramic shots of the engines and background scenery that look similar to real photos in the multitude of N&W books in our libraries.
  The small trestles are excellent. The large trestle is very appropriate.  The trees and backdrop colors and artwork are fantastic.
  I hope that my layout can draw from your work when I begin it.

  Dear members,



  we (a friend and me) made a modular HO-scale coal mining layout for presenting on model exhibitions here in Germany. It features a tipple from which hoppers are actually loaded with crushed coal and  three company houses and a company store to represent a mining town. We tried to capture the landscape of  West Virginia by modeling mountains thickly covered with forest and a hand painted backdrop. 

  We operate N&W stam locos and meanwhile some diesels and we run coaltrains up to 40 loaded hoppers with  helper  service. The layout was already presentet in some modeling magazines in Germany and Switzerland.  



  Recently I was informed by a friend, that there are a few clips on Youtube, which were made during an exhibition at Adliswil near Zurich in Switzerland in 2006. I'd like to share them with you:  

  13th Convention Adliswil 2006 volume 2 , volume 3 and 4.
