WOW! Echo Leon's comment... pic with horses looked pretty realistic! Thank you so much for sharing. Have to ask you how long this took you to build?

Thanks Leon and Andy
The layout was started in 2008 with 6 team members of which 3 were the modelers that did all the track work, built the trestles, did the scenery, made the trees and scratch built all the structures. The other 3 members helped with the construction of the frame work, sound and lighting of the structures.
I worked on the horse team by rebending each horse (they were all the same shape) by heating and bending the necks and tails. The hardness came from an old Budweisher kit that I weathered and installed on each horse. The stretcher bars between the horses are scratch built.
I also weathered the diecast '32 Ford pickup truck in the photo above.
