New table, New layout! Pics+ Video

[SubwayHypes]

haha whats a japanese n gauge train table without an authentic japanese puppy?  growing up in japan many of my moms friends had shibas so i am pretty familiar with them, they are really fiesty so you gotta keep them in check....an awesome dog IMO...not too big but not small enough to be considered a paris hilton toy dog..as for layout no updates yet still laying track and getting foundation down slowly.  once tracks are running this project should take off because i have dozens of buildings and city scenes sitting in boxes waiting to be installed...

The Puppy is very cute you just wished they stayed puppies (or kittens)

well the project has hit a hiatus again ive been really busy with work and personal life constructing other projects.....hopefully things will settle down and i can finally finish laying track.

Just send me all your track, trains and scenery. I'll do a custom layout for materials and shipping (no labor cost) in exchange for getting to play with your trains in between working on the scenery.

haha trust me i feel bad having all this in storage but just so much stuff going down.  im trying to build two different business at once and taking care of the new dog and the girlfriend leaves very little time for the layout.  but i have slowly been getting back at it, the recent tragedy in japan has inspired me so ive started to work on the foundation and wiring lately....cant wait to get all these  buildings, trains, and cars on display.

Okay....I can take a hint....I'll take the puppy. 
How big will he get?

shiba inus get around 30 Lbs but mine is a runt lol...such a hyperactive dog..

the layout is currently in storage.....im not sure of its plans at the moment, i honestly just dont have the space in my house its too small...my family does have plans in the future of building a large house on our vineyard acreage up north and im hoping i will be able to relocate it there.    but yeah been very busy with my new career path lately....i help manage and attend to a 30 acre vineyard in northern california my dad recently bought.  i also do alot of farming both indoors and outdoors for medical marijuana patients here in california its legal in case you didnt know.  so making good money but just no time for the layout!  but dont worry i will make sure to post up when i do something.


in the meantime...check out these pictures from the new Nscale magazine...i guess someone in the model train industry heard my telepathic request for more subway layouts!   pretty cool stuff, this is exactly what i had envisioned for my subway part of the layout..

Do you get to sample the goods?

I mean, I know if I was picking berries in a field, I'd eat one occasionally.

[SubwayHypes]

yea we get to sample both the grapes and the bud lol...

so good news i found a new home for the layout, so it should be up and running for 2012...sorry about all the delays and being MIA.

That's a great concept.  I like how the subway only runs a portion on the lower table so that it is accessible if it derails. Although I don't have derails when Kato track is used.
