It's my little girls 0-4-0, she will be 3 in a couple of weeks, she has ran a few trains up the Spiral Tunnels. I've been teaching her how to use a DigiTrax throttle! She is actually not that bad!

It looks great!

I haven't got the new switches or track yet, but that didn't stop me from ripping out everything that was at Ottertail, tomorrow I might start on the benchwork! This will show how much room the mill is going to take up.

Welcome to the Gauge Steve! I like operations too! Can't wait to see pictures of your layout.

My mistake, I meant #1440, that's one of them I've been on.

Those are SO NICE! I will need 2 of them, I've worked on CP #1210, and 1410. Maybe they can be used for my Pulp and Paper mill switchers. I can't wait!

I was going to get the LBF cars, they already have Micro Trains trucks and couplers on them. There are only 4 different road names, but that should be good enough for a start.

I just ordered 6 dozen Long radius Peco switches and another case of flex track. I think that should be enough to almost finish the layout.

I don't have any yet, there are a few places I know of that still have some. I didn't realize they were hard to find. I might have to get the soon!

They look great!

BLW at, www.buynscale.com has the cheapest price on Peco switches I have found. Pete is great to deal with too.

I'm going to be starting to redo a part of my layout too! I guess maybe it is the season!

As soon as I get the track and switches, I'll start posting some pictrues of the construction!

You mean fall out like the Atlas trucks!

I would try to find some small straws too and paint them the right color. It might be a cheap way to make the loads yourself!

I revised the track plan to add more room for woodchip cars, and another storage track. I was told that it takes 4 tonnes over wood to make 1 tonne of paper! So I needed to make more room for the wood chip cars!

That is a awesome looking staging yard! An amazing layout too, I just looked over the whole web site! It is similar to what I have right now, but mine is only 5 tracks. ( And the tracks aren't as long) The first switch is set with a spring, so it always goes straight, then you set which track...

Here is the current track plan for my proposed Pulp and Paper Mill at Ottertail. (I'm sure it will change by the time I start laying the track!) I might have an operating session over the holidays, and then start building the bechwork for it after that. I figure the mill should get about 15-20...

Hey Andrew! I am going to do the pulp and paper mill first, but I am thinking of taking out the revese loop staging yards, and making them a normal double ended yard. ( but not until after the mill! ) What I might do is join the lower staging yard and Golden, mae it all one big yard. There would...

You sure dive into a project when you get your mind set on it! I look forward to seeing your progress! If anyone can do it, you can!
