[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith Matt The turntable spur is one of the unfinished parts mostly because the roundhouse needs to be built around the turntable and Visa Versa. So I'm holding until I'm ready to start the roundhouse facade. I am going to use a 10" Lazy Susan from OSH and will build a wooden platform on top of and a second one around the exterior so it will be invisible. It already has a 12" track section cut to fit it. I'll post a log on that project but its still a little in the future. Next on the layout (After some vigorous track cleaning) is the foam mountains and the painted backdrop. Not to wild about the mess that comes with that [xx(] Capt C I dont know about a curve? if so I hope that curve is the worst one on your layout that claims alot of derailed trains, hehehe, its the Gomez Addams in me. Call it "Poor Vics Curve" better yet how about a saloon called "Poor Vic's"[;)] [/quote] Ha! I was going to call it "Smith's Curve," but now that you mention it... "Poor Vic's" does sound a bit better. I plan to have an oblong "stretched" circle with four curves. There will be many turnouts, a few spurs and losts of sidetracks. On the West stretch will be Two Trees, Texas (of which you can read about at my webpage under "Communities"), The North Strech will find the town of Norma, Texas (of which I am finishing the depot). Micaela, Texas will be on the South Strech. Between Two Trees and Norma I will place "Poor Vic's Curve." You never know, it could eventually spring up into a small village. It will be near the Northerly Plantation. I can even throw up a bit of fiction 'bout an engineer, Ole Vic, who once lost a train (and his life) on this curve. Sounds like it could make a good song as well.
