Building the Rock Ridge Railroad with the slowest construction crew west of the Pecos.
QUOTE: 2 suggestions- (1)Don't use EZ track! or any track with plastic roadbed attacted, for that matter. Use Atlas track (NOT true track, tho) and Midwest Cork roadbed. (2) Don't use 18" curves. I've regretted using them ever since day 1. Luckily my new layout will have 22" curves.
QUOTE: A yard is a biggy; where you have your Siding E, you could fit an inner parallel track, or two, and there is your yard, rudimentary though it is. A yard is handy to allow you to fiddle with your rolling stock manually, and to store it all, but it also allows you to classify your trains just like the real thing
QUOTE: A yard is an absolutle must, even if it's only 3 tracks.
