I am certainly designing this to be either stand alone or part of a larger operation, regardless whether it is more modules or something to make a continuous run like you mentioned. I really like the "bendtrack", "free-mo" and similar concepts, and am using that same concept here. The end loops are a great idea and would be simple to build.

All of you layouts have been continues running this one wouldn't be. You might not like the fact that you can't just have trains running as you are working on something. You could make the turns 12" and hide them with a view block so you don't see the long trains going around a 12" radius. Just a thoughJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11769835041946778849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886666289730689931.post-33404187023598516212012-12-19T19:43:16.434-06:002012-12-19T19:43:16.434-06:00Geof, you have far to few photos of your work on y...Geof, you have far to few photos of your work on your blog. I would love to see more. From what I can see, you have a really nice start, and like the footprint you have established.

However, I don't know if that would be too much in the space that I have. I either need a realistic means of interchanging 2 (maybe 3) railroads in the space I have, or simply have UP own the entire thing. Designing is always the hardest part of the project for me. Too many ideas.NscaleAddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10766732109882500463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886666289730689931.post-8651735090002600352012-12-19T10:24:18.950-06:002012-12-19T10:24:18.950-06:00You could do the Elevator on Harry Langdon (Bartle...You could do the Elevator on Harry Langdon (Bartlet) and put the RI Museum on there and do the interchange wit the IAIS and the BNSF. FV does some nice Gevos and Atlas the GP38-2's in IAIS.

My Aroostook Valley is progressing, with work now focussed on completing the paper mill in the space originally intended for the industrial park. The mill's really starting to look good (pics to come). And as far as the name - don't worry - for something that small simply changing motive power and a few structures or signs creates a whole new railroad!Geof Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116332697708271493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886666289730689931.post-33852966139253341172012-12-18T22:00:06.661-06:002012-12-18T22:00:06.661-06:00I hear ya.

I was at Home Depot getting some remodel stuff and thought I would throw in a couple sheets of plywood since I was there. Gave me a good excuse to cobble some new benchwork together.
