Hi Guys and thanks for the comments and looking

raymans I made the streets out of 1/8” paneling I ripped it down to 4 ¾” and ran it through my plainer at a 45 degree on both edges and painted it.

magicaman710 I’ve ran 4 at one time.

Csxt30 the room is 25’ x 13’

gwg50 - You need some sugar covered hoppers and corn syrup tank cars to support your booming candy is dandy but liquor is quicker industries...

Thanks for sharing.

Unlike Chuck or Zeke, I like both. But fastrack is my favorite.  

Anybody heard of fastrack's price reduction? $2.00 now.

Clean layout, I like the Jim Bean

Nice photos - I see you are using the most venerable and time-proven of all track systems to boot.

That's the cherry on the sundae.

great work you have done so far. keep it up. i just hope that i can be taht creative when i get to this point on my layout. i really love the red bridge, and lumber yard. did you make those  yourself. keep us posted on your work.

[gwg50]

Thanks Jim and Reggie looks like you two are the only one's that I have Impress with my work, but that's ok I like it and that's what counts right.

Jim I went to your web page, I like the Mo & Joe car & the Log cars. I'll have to start looking for them, they would go good with lumber yard & sawmill. I'll keep checking back for updates on the layout.

Reggie I've been watching your progress since you started and there's nothing I can say but WOW and I mean that. Yes I made the bridges, roads, grain & feed, lumber yard, station platform, loading dock, mountain, most of the new stuff the other building I had from back in the 70'es . Too bad you don't live closer you could use my work shop to make anything you wanted too for your great layout.

Thanks guys for your support. Gary

thanks for the offer. all of my work that includs building, cutting, whatever has been done in this room. its my room so i can do as i please in there thats what i tell my wife. if i sent you some dimensions of a bridge if you had time would you be willing to make me one and i will pay for it plus the shipping. might  even drive down to pick it up and check out your layout.

i noticed in your plan that you only have one intersection going from mainline to mainline, and that means if you want to go from mainline to mainline and the train is going in one direction you might have to pull the train up far enough then back the train through the switch which is a potential for derailment and your trains can only get to different lines in one direction. just thought i would mention that to you, not to say you haven't thought about it yet. just a pointer from me.

[gwg50]

Yes Reggie that's what I'm doing now but not to often with 4 trains running I have a hard enough time keeping up with them now just letting them go round & around when I get some more money I'll buy some more switches and add them. I have two more rooms I'm going to go into when I can get more track.

 You can't see it all on here.

[thatboy37]

2 more rooms. now you really got me wanting to see the rest of the layout

I have 5 acres and my Mom use to live out here and had 14' X 80' mobile home when she past away I didn't want to rent it out so I turn it into my train room. Right now I've used the liven room an a bedroom. One of these days I'll have trains running the hole house. I sent you a email about bridges.

sorry to hear that about your mom. man i wish i had that type of space and the 5 acres. all i have is 23x43 train room and a 1/2 acre that my house sits on. you know there's always someone in this world that has more than you. i always known that but just to see it and here it. it's another thing. when you get all up and running i would love to take a vacation and come and see it for myself. also would you let me bring some of my trains to run.
