Pictures of Randy's layout
Randy must not be able to get enough of playing with trains.   You see, in addition to running trains on APN's layout, Randy is also building the home layout shown in the following gallery.  He does these both in his spare time, when he is not at work, driving real locomotives for the UP.  Added new pictures taken February 2008.

Showing the modular benchwork Randy is using. August 2007

This benchwork will support staging.

A wide angle view showing the layout taking form, and the recently installed sky board. Note the "tunnel" thru the wall.

Approximately the same view, some months later, in February 2008 showing the extension of the roadbed and some track in place.

A different angle of the previous scene.

This is looking back at the rest of the room.

This is the other end of the layout.

Another view of the other end, taken from a different angle.

Pictures of Moe's layout
Moe is a seasoned modeler and a member of the APN scenery committee. Moe is also the "Mayor" of Big Bend, one of the towns on APN's layout.  Here are some pictures Larry took of Moe's home layout during a visit in 2006 by several APN members. In addition to giving a tour of the layout, Moe was a most gracious host and also surprised us by providing lunch!

Moe January . Below are some additional pictures of Moe's layout taken in July 2007: .   Pictures of Roger's layout Roger is our Vice President and Operations Committee Chairman, and below are photos of his home layout.  Look at how realistic the color and textures of his mountainsides are.  Roger would like to be able to take credit for how well these mountains turned out, but he reports that they are the handiwork of his son, Steve, who Roger says "is amazingly talented at scenicing and weathering."  We have to concur.  Unseen in these pictures is a talent that Roger does possess - as he is a member of the APN electrical committee as well. Roger with his artistic son, Steve .   Pictures of Bob's layout Bob, another of APN's seasoned modelers, provided these pictures of his home layout.  Bob is our longstanding secretary, is a member of the Scenery Committee, the "Mayor" of Valley Junction (a town on APN's layout), and is the author of the APN History found here Judy & Bob Miller posing at APN's layout .       John and Jim also have home layouts, Moe is redoing his, and Rich and Mike are planning one.  We will try to post pictures of these when they become available.
