This was taken on my original HO layout, by this point it had been in off and on use since 1979.
The layout was one huge texture, little on it was flat and shiny.
It looks way over done to me today, but late 1970's HO still was rather coarsely textured with HUGE rail and gigantic wheel flanges. The only thing close to scale in this shot is the Fairbanks Morse H10-44 in MN&S paint.

i only wish i could have had a place i could have built a perminant layout. ever since childhood i'd dreamed of it. i still don't. i did manage to build a transportable n-scale in two sections that fit into one box, back in the early 90s. but that's as close as i've ever been able to get. i may even have some pictures of it somewhere.
