Well worth the effort. Results speak for themselves!
I like the white on black design just as it is!
When I mentioned cross over and under each other I was thinking of a folded dog bone design. Keep your loops, but twist them. This would require...
Looks like a good start Jason. Sidings for each industry would be nice, rather than switching directly off the mainline. Sidings will give you run...
When I spoke of the other side of the layout I was referring to the Miller Bros Mine siding. It now has become the mainline leading to the Y&OR...
Your new design adds undesirable "S" curves coming out of the loop when you added the power plant spur tracks and shifts everything to the...

I like it! The letters look like they read "DC to AC AC44CW"
Don't mean to burst any bubbles, however it looks minimal at this point. Doesn't have what I need or want ... yet. Will keep watching for updates....
Built my first section of L-girder bench work using Linn Westcott's design with one slight variation. My layout design will require all of the...

Hope bluetooth can do more than just run trains and make sounds. I want a full blown system with block detection, computer interface, CTC,...
Unless track power is on you will not be able to communicate with an engine decoder. In other words the engine decoder must have track voltage to...
My favorites are depressed flat cars and bulkhead flat cars. Second runner up are gondolas. I think it has more to do with the fact that I can...
I'll second that!
I fully sympathize with your frustrations. We have all been there, are there and will continue to be there at some point or another. I have been...
