Brian,
hey great father in law! guess he figures he can keep you out of trouble and an eye on you easily this way! is he secretly having fun with the layout too? do you come in the next day and find all the trains in different spots?!
looks great and you have a good bit of space to play with there. thought of curving around the far end with tracks or is that just work space? like the rural loop out to the other end.
I see you got a 1/500 tokyo tower! arent the lights wonderful! i just have mine in my office right now and turn them on now and then for pretty lights!
happy to see the jrm container found a nice home!
The JRM container is very special to me, a friend from the other side of the Atlantic sent it to me as a gift

, i love it .
My father in law is a special guy, he always helps if he can, and never turns you down if you ask for his help.
Actually i got the ONLY key for the "train room" , that was my only condition for saying yes to the room, he always have people running in and out of the house, i do not like that, but he loves it, so for me to agree to set up my layout , was if i could lock the room.
Yes, the tokyo tower look great, i also have some billboards with lights, i will make video later with all the lights on
