Just stopped in and was wondering if anyone here has ever thought of building the Bailey yard in North Platte. I am going to do the calculations tonight for fun and I bet it would take at least a 4 car garage. Sorry for the interuption, I'm just floating around tonight. See Ya,

Thank you MrPlow, :thumb: This was the case I was trying to make all along. I came home for lunch today and of course spent a few minutes in the train room. :rolleyes: I pulled out my latest plan that I am going with and I found out something. I started placing a few buildings around just to...

Yes, I agree that the trouble to re-use would outway the cost of new. Not that I am going to have to tear em' up because I am going to lay everything perfect the first time! :rolleyes: Chris, 6 FEET ! I can't wait to run my 4400cw, 6" :D Thanks for the post a I will start posting pix when...

Chief, If your in the area again let me know. I'll show you the sites that passer's throught never get to see. Beautiful morning here! 68deg 44% Humidity :) Russell

Good Morning from the Homestead in Greenwood TWP~:wave:

Good Morning to all! :wave: Another question Lynn, I noticed you used ws risers on the old layout also, Did you buy new for the current project? Can they be used over & over ? Is there certain mounting methods to assure you can? O-kay so I meant several questions. :D Thanks,

And by the way everyone if you want to see some wild and great looking stuff, visit steve at his (don't laugh to hard thread). There is some great pix and some of the best advice from the experts on the gauge you can imagine! :thumb: Alright, all the threads are great but his is a little...

Alright, Lynn, I am coming off the modified 4x8 benchwork at 46"H and the next 4' or so will be at 36". This does several things to the layout, I can set my risers coming off the 46" to a max grade of 2% and at the pinacle of section 2 & 3 have a mainline that seems to be at several hundred feet...

:eek: OR CAN WE? :eek: balloon6 I was just thinking about the future and a possible spansion bridge for the 2nd leg of the layout. I am doing the modern era so, do I go with a cable / concrete structure or, do I let caution get sucked into the vaccum and go all steel. Looking at about...

Although I live in an area where they will not even deliver the mail to us at the house :curse: and have to have a PO Box in town!:curse: We do have a very well stocked train shop in a little town called Elroy. I stated before that I had the owner order some ws risers and his salesman talked me...

Galen, You guys are just the greatest! My layout to start is going to be a very basic and simple endevor and then turn into a monster. :D The main section, #1 of 5, will only have 10 switches, a few spurs and just not a whole lot of flash and flare. However, that is just the beginning. The more...

Lynn, That is a great idea. You had me somewhat confused until you got to the (little Green Do-hicky) sign1 Its too late for this and another week is here. Be safe and have a GREAT week!:thumb: Russell

You sir are an insperation and an artist! :thumb: You also have been in the greatest of company through your journey. I cannot wait to see your pix on the completed river project. Keep up the fantastic work. Russell

Lynn, One word, WOW!!!!!!! I thought my plans were progressive and somewhat complicated but, geeeeezzzz! :thumb: I can't wait to see a video (if possible) of this beauty running! :D There are train clubs here that do not have that great of a layout! I have considered ws risers, as a matter of...

Long time listener first time caller! Good Summer Morning from the Hill Country of Western Wisconsin! Have a SAFE and ENJOYABLE weekend everyone. 95 & humid today on the ridges. Its going to be a good day to work on the layout. Russell

Thanks Lynn, I need all the help I can get! hamr Going to lay the swicthing area today I hope. Have a great saturday everyone~:thumb:

Lynn, jawdrop You are quite the industrialist :thumb: Fantastic pix and the wiring is unbelievable! My plans are not as progressive but would love to see your layout as it developes please. And maybe if possible a whole room shot of the layout. Yes, yes I am trying to steal some ideas...

You hit it right on the spike Russ. I have used the cad programs for measurments and overall dimentional calculations but, the layout is in my head! Althought for some reason I am often asked if my little mind gets lonely in that big thing. As I stated before, the first 1/5 of this dream is in...

I have the day off so I just spent 4 hours finishing the outline of the buildings, hills, water features and then of course the track routes. No spagetti track here. :D This is just the first phase of 5 that is to be completed for the around the room layout so, I know I will gain more...

I guess saying throw down the track was not the best statement on my part :oops: I do have a very set diagram in my head and with all the paper I have it should turn out close to what I am wanting. I read no less than an hour a day here on the Gauge and other modlers websites. I subscribe to MR...
