    Atlas remote turnout

    Woodone the wire length was just the wire supplied with the turn out. It is not hooked up to any other track yet because I am still waiting for the rest of my track to get delivered.

    First layout ever

    The reason I have two loops is simply to have two trains running continuously. I know the outer loop dont really serve any specific function. I just like seeing alot of track and being able to run two seperate trains at the same time on the same layout. I may consider taking out the inner loop...

The picture is not the best quality but I think you will get the idea. The layout in N scale. The outer loop on the...
