Hello everyone,
Here are some pics of my 35 x 15 HO layout
This one is the layout plan

Here are some of the track layed
This one is to the lumber mill. There is a 4% grade to the middle track that uses a helper district, and a 6% grade to the top for the Shays.

and the yard area, it still needs some roadbed but you get the idea..

Here is the cable that I use to power the layout, its a great deal at $.30 a foot!! It allows power drops to the rail and wire for switches,lights,etc...

Does anyone see concerns on the 6% grade using Shays???
Well I got impatient and had to run some trains. Still all of the scenery to do but it is wired and running with no derails!!!
I took a quick video with sound...I'd say the diesel was goin a little fast...LOL
