This part of the subroadbed is now up on risers, even if it's only 20mm above the benchwork:

 

 

I've cut out more subroadbed on the other end as well:

I've started to cut out some subroadbed. The curve radius is 8m (26' 3").

The N scale return loop radius is to tight for H0 so it had to go:

I waited as long as I could but this morning I finally removed the N scale east staging yard. Now there is no way back...

I cut a gap into the background to gain access to the tunnel track that will soon be installed in this area:

There's not much going on right now, I'm too busy work wise. Still, I've made some adjustments to the track plan again:

Before I start working on the visible layout I did some finetuning of the plan. Small changes all that I believe are an improvement. Here's the new plan:

Again, here's a larger version: http://www.gamrailroad.com/images/BRIII/2018/Rosenheim%2012_8.pdf

The last staging track is in place. Unfortunately I've completely run out of freight AND passenger cars so instead of the long train that would normally be parked here I unpacked a very short one:

 

 

As a test I have placed the turnouts that will be at the end of the yard:

I've added a staging track for another long passenger train. Now there's only one missing, then the staging yard will be complete!

Well, building a staging yard is part of the layout construction I believe. But don't worry, there's only 2 more trains and then the yard is complete and I will reach the visible part of the layout.

Is this a layout construction thread or a "showing off my model collection" thread?  I'm very interested in the former and couldn't care less about the latter.

Strange to see a thread get hijacked by the OP. Smile

I have the right to remain silent.  By posting here I have given up that right and accept that anything I say can and will be used as evidence to critique me.

I added another staging track today. The train is something special, it's the only train my son ever gave me as a birthday gift. I wish he could be here to see it run...

I've added another of the longer staging tracks this morning. This is a nice long freight pulled by an E95 locomotive.

The second train of the day is the famous "Rheingold" first class passenger train of 1962. Unfortunately I only have 4 cars and they are not available anymore.
