Hey Reggie,

Any progress lately? Glad you didn't have to move.

 

yes i have done more work on the layout. but i have been procrastinating by uploading the pictures. i have layed track for the autorack loading facility, and right now i am in the process of building/laying track for a car rapairshop, engine repairshop, and diesel fueling racks. i have also posted all of the updated work on another site nscale.net its under layout buildings and the title is my layout and trainworld. i have the same screen name on this site also. will at a later date post the pictures here.

 thanks for asking about the update work. i have built on the layout in the past week and a half or so.

well more work has been done on the railroad. the 2 track mainline has been completed with the incline and the bridges in place. i took the pictures as if you were following your train around the layout on the main. hope you like and enjoy.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
these next couple of shots are of the whole trainroom (heads one of the pictures is side ways so i could get the whole layout in the picture
 
 
 
 
these last four are of the few details i added to the fueling rack and area
 
 
 
 
 
 
more work will be coming soon. so stay tuned. all comments welcomed as i like those. enjoy.
 
i have completed one of my goals for the layout and that was to have all the track layed for the mains in a year and i have right at a month to spare give or take a few days. it took me 1year 1month and a week to finish the basement and get to the point of the layout i'm on now. i hope to have all the track for the industries down and get it completly wired by the end of the year. i will be contacting nce for further details on what i need to hook up a powercab, smart booster, 5amp power supply, 10 plug in sockets, 5 auto reversers, and 4 extra pro cabs for visitors to use when over to play. also im thinking of dividing the layout into power districts maybe 6 or possibly 9 districts. any help would be appreciated in this big step of wiring my layout.

Man that is coming along nicely. You're doing a great job. Love that Intermodal train.

I must ask though, how are you ever going to ballast all that track? How long will it take? Years?

thanks for the compliment and the intermodal is one of my favorites to run. i have not made up the mind yet on whether or not im going to ballast all the track or not. i like the look of the track at its state right now. in an n scale or n scale railroading magazine issue last summer there was a guy that had a very large layout with the track unballasted like mine and his looked outstanding. so right now im leaning towards not but who knows once i get to that phase.

 

thanks for looking and the compliments
