Six Weeks of Construction in 3 Minutes: The Thompson River Canyon layout

[JDL56]

It took me six weeks to build, but you can watch the construction of the N scale Thompson River Canyon layout in just over three minutes, with some video of the layout in operation at the end.

Nice little video. 

You don't show the "backside" of the layout, but it appears it is a single track.  A club I see at shows around here has an N scale layout representing a local stretch of rugged track.  On the backside they have several staging tracks so that trains can run in either direction and one does not follow itself around,  As a viewer, you are always wondering where the next train is coming from and what it will be.

Thanks for sharing,

The back is a single track. The layout is just a simple loop. I will be finishing the back side over fall and winter. It will represent the eastern end of the canyon.
