I have been asking a lot of questions here over the past year and am very thankful for all the wonderful advice. Over the past 2.5 months I have been able to make an around the room layout (U-shaped) with rock solid benchwork. The past few nights I have laid roadbed and track on the first section which will be a reverse loop. Drum roll: IT WORKED!!!!!!! (of course with the help of NCE Powerhouse and Tony's Train Exchange reverse Module) I just am excited because it worked and I didn't have to jerry rig (sp?) anything. I took my time and worked patiently (which is not my strong suit). Again it's great to have a board that is responsive as this one!!!! Jeff
That's great news! Congrats! A smooth running layout, I think, is worth the effort and patience you put into it. Now, if I could only find some more patience . . .
Jeff: Those reverse loop modules by Tony's Train work very well. I have four Lenz reverse loop modules on the JJJ&E and just bought the reverse module from Tony's for my turntable module. Stay cool and run steam.....
Jeff, It is always satisfying to see members progress with their layouts, if it wasnt for this site I would not have progressed to the level I am now. Look forward to seeing some pics of your progress.
