Thanks Brent. I'm learning, slowly. I wish I had provisioned more room. I'm running out of space for scenery!

I changed the layout this week. I was having a problem with bridges and "earth" getting in the way of the lower track, and I was limited to running short trains. I have expanded the upper section, which also doubles as a long tunnel on the lower level. This allows 9-11 car trains to be run if multiple trains are on the track, or close to 22 cars if only one train is. I have my train passing area, a low incline, and now, much more room to but my city stip. Eventually I will put 2 switches on the new upper area to create a passing zone around the passenger station.
I am in the process or putting my stop sections back in, and making it run smoother, but you get the jist of it. Once again, not a great video, and the lighting is bad.

great job. keep it up.
I haven't started the final wiring yet. I did pick up the wire for it. I still need to get the barrier strips, and more 6pos rotory switches. The wife has a huge list of things for me to do this month. She says that trains for are rainy days, and it hasn't rained in ohio much this month...still, I stop and look at the layout everyday...
