    I just wanted to share with everybody that i have completed the outter loop of my two track dogbone mainline. The length is 47' x 30" deep with a 38" radius loop at one end and a 42" radius at the other end of the "bone". This is the first time in years i have had a layout long enough in one place to complete a major part of trackwork like this. With a total of over 100' of track i can run two trains oppsite of each other at the same time. I have always been so intent on point-to-point operation that i never allowed myself the fun of having the ability to run trains continously- i'm really glad i did this time. This is a pretty permanant layout in that it is built inside my new mobile home so that when i move again in a couple months, the whole thing will roll with me. Having a ball here and glad to have a bunch of fellow RRing buddies to share this with. Curt
