Your welcomed anytime your down this way and bring some trains if there's anything I can help with let me know. Did you ever get the email?

Gary

you do have more space. plus i was blessed with a little money to do more with right away. than to have to build up over time thats the only difference.

[gwg50]

Reggie you say all I have is 23x43 train room that huge. My layout is just a plain one. Yours on the other hand is already alot cooler than mine.

Oh, BTW - if you look on the main page there have been almost 1000 views of your thread.  A lot of folks just look and don't post.

[Brutus]

Thanks for the comment on the webpage, Gary!  I think you're the only one who ever went there!  I ran out of room for pictures on my account, so I need to upgrade to more space or get a different provider or edit my old stuff out. Don't want to spend train and dvd money on it though....

Reggie, you have a really nice layout coming along too.  I'm getting ready to build my 3rd layout (1 and 2 are already history) and I have only about 9 ft by 8.5 ft area - probably do a big donut and sit in the middle!

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.

Gary

 

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.

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

 

[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.

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’

 

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.

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.

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.

Clean layout, I like the Jim Bean

[RR Redneck]

Hey, is that Jim Bean truck a model of a Clint Bowyer hauler.

[magicman710]

Very nice layout. Lots of play value.

And you have tubular track. Looks terrific.

Chuck

like chuck i love the tubular track

 

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

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

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.
