I had a 30' siding on the inside of the inside loop of my double track main. It had to end (@30') before entering the sump pump room in my basement. somehow the first 2 pics are reversed! room removed:

 

I have now removed the room and extended the siding. before with the room

here's the old siding entrance

and here's the new

here's how the other side was

here's the new end to the siding where a train holding in the middle can pull out onto either main

and here's a pic I throw in just 'cause I like it! Joe

Since the weatherman says you are tailpipe deep in snow, so I guess you shouldn't go outside to play in the dirt. That being said, looks like you are indeed having fun, not playing in the dirt. Thanks for sharing.

Ben, He won't need it til the snow melts!

Looks good, wish I had built my pole barn bigger so I could have indoor layout and store equipment!

Hey Guys, thanks. My sump pump room is still there cut in half. The lower portion is almost the same footprint under the train, just the pipe goes up into a room that is a triangle about 4'x4'. Going to be a tough one if it clogs up bad!!! Joe

 Joe,

Very impressive.  what are the dimensions of your train room?   Reason I ask is because I see that you're running some pretty big stuff there.

Keep the photos coming.

Well its my whole house, roughly forty something x thirty something with an addition t'eed into it that's 30x24. Takes some big corners for a challenger not to hit the walls but the outside curves are 11'6" and the rest are 10's. The MTH diesels and cars will do some pretty sharp curves if needed, Joe
