michaelrose55 Now that the Rosenheim station is complete I will move on to the next peninsula which creates a small problem: it's a mess! I have been using it as a storage/sorting/work table and now I have to find different places to put all this stuff.

As your trackwork grows, your "free" tabletop tool storage will disappear. I recommend some high quality audio-visual carts:

You can leave your stuff on them and move them around easily. If you're lucky, they'll fit under your layout.

It took exactly 2 hours to get everything cleaned and organized. Now I'm ready for a few sheets of plywood again!

The Breitenbach - Rosenheim Railroad V3
I've added the turnout and a few feet of track where the branch line will connect to the Rosenheim station. The waiting train is a battery operated ETA 177:
Today I spent eight hours laying track at Rosenheim. Almost all of the station is now finished:
I installed several turnouts and laid more track at the Rosenheim station:
Three days ago I ran out of right hand turnouts. Luckily I had them on order and even better, today they came in the mail. This allowed me to finish the east end of the Rosenheim station:
Wowza! Your progress is really impressive!
I'm beginning to realize that Windows 10 and sound decoders have a lot in common. There are so many things you have to change in order to get them to work the way you want.
Today I've finished station track #3 and added track #4 as well:
I started this morning by installing a few turnouts at the east end of the station, then I connected the two station tracks and added most of station track #3:
The first two station tracks are almost complete:
I've started laying track at the Rosenheim station:
The ramp up to Rosenheim is complete:
The paint has dried, I'm again laying track:
Everything has been sealed and painted:
I've done it, the Rosenheim station is complete! Tomorrow I will seal and paint the roadbed, then the track laying can begin .
About 3/4 of the Rosenheim station is finished:
I have started to add the second layer of roadbed, starting with the ramp:
Next came the left side of the station which meant drilling holes for 12 switch machines as well:
I spent the morning gluing down 142 pieces of roadbed. That completes the first layer. The second layer will take a bit longer because I'll have to laser the parts first.
It's done! All of the Rosenheim subroadbed is glued in place:
Rosenheim is growing...
The first piece of the Rosenheim station is up!
Two shots across the room:
Now the mainline underneath Rosenheim has gotten it's track as well:
As always I took pictures with a train:
I've laid the staging yard track:
I glued foamboard on top of the plywood in preparation for the staging tracks:
I also installed roadbed and painted it so I can lay track before the Rosenheim station gets installed on top:

Sorry. I had to laugh at this.

I'm glad you think this is funny !
Luckily I didn't forget that staging yard underneath Rosenheim. I hate the location I had to put it, wish I had more space...
The first few risers are in place:
The world is still flat at the Rosenheim station but at least all the roadbed has been cut out:
