I finally have some new photos of my In-ko-pah Railroad posted, beginning with this shot of the west end of the layout:

I've made major progress since the last time I posted anything...- Completed the west end mountains.
- Completed and installed a new plate girder bridge with catwalk and handrails.
- Finished the concrete stairs at each end of the layout, and gave them a rock-like texture.
- Built a miniature stone retaining wall.
- Began excavation of the second canyon.
- Built the eighth and last tunnel.
I've also included a few pics of my Buddy L 2-6-2 after modifying, detailing, repainting and weathering it. I replaced the diamond stack with a "shotgun" type made from a baster. Detailed the backhead and cab interior. Replaced the headlight with a battery powered LED. Converted the tender from coal to oil. Added an engineered made from a heavily modified Railroad Avenue "Wayne" figure.
Last of all are a couple pics of the LBG Porters that we bought on ebay in December. Eventually I will be repainting and weathering them.
