Layout tour of American Flyer 16 ft dog bone S gauge 10 30 2021

A viewer had asked a while back for a layout tour. This video features the items on the layout. It includes the scratch built "Big Cliff Dam", wooden trestle, and Erector trestle. There are a couple photos of the actual Big Cliff Dam and information on how to view a fly over video (4K) Big Cliff Dam, uploaded by (neilybobmojo) in June 2016 When I started the layout I wanted to use the two trestles I had built years ago. I needed a reason for them to be in the layout. After I started the land risers for the trestles I thought there should be a dam behind them to fill space at the back wall. I have driven past Big Cliff Dam many times while traveling to Detroit Lake and east. I thought I could make a relatively scaled version of the dam and fit it into my landscape. I think it came out well. At some point I plan on making the flood gates and possibly the bridge crane. I used a portrait vinyl back drop on the left end of Banff National Park in Alberta Canada. That worked out well for the scene and allowed a turn around without a tunnel for the yard. I built up the right end table for the tunnel and used an RFGCO reproduction 168 Hotel originally made by Mini-craft for American Flyer. I have had this building since the 1990's on different layouts. The tunnel was made high enough to clear "Smitty the walking brakeman" cars and 944 wrecker cranes. I wanted the view of different elevations in the layout while still keeping the track level at all points. The wall shelving was already in place when we purchased the home and I worked around it. Fortunately the person that assembled them kept all the shelves level. I did the same with the tables so they increase with floor height to offset the garage floor slope. I had not compensated for that with my other layout, and wish I had. Lesson learned ha ha.
