My Layout in July 2006

I originally posted these pictures on my old website on February 9, 2008.

I took these pictures of my HO-scale model railroad on April 1, 2006. The captions for these pictures were written as if my layout were a real railroad in Oregon called the Logan & San Miguel Railroad (or L&SM for short), and as if these pictures were historical photos posted on the company’s website. There were a couple of pictures I didn’t originally use, and I have written new captions for them. I have posted the pictures in the order I took them, whereas when I wrote the captions the pictures were in fictional chronological order.
