I posted a couple pics of what I have been up to. Be gentle :rolleyes:

Cars a mainly plastic and I should have little problem building them , but if I do I know were to come for help. Thanks Tim K

Thanks for the help guy's. I am planning a modern era layout and thought it would be cool to include the turntable . Great overhead pics , sure gives you a better perspective on just how much realestate a yard can use up.Is there a web site for pics like that ? Thanks again Tim K

Seems easy enough , thanks for the info Jim. Tim K

I picked up a couple unbuilt cars and was wondering what is the best glue to use , CA , model glue ? Thanks Tim K

Are turntables still in use today in any yards? Thanks Tim K

I am using the Digitrax zephyr for my control and would like to know what I need to run a reverse loop. Thanks Tim K

What is the best method for temporarily installing flex track on foam. I want to try a couple different ideas that involve using flex track for making large radius turns. Thanks Tim K

Thanks for your advise Russ , I will definately test out the Autoracks before deciding on a final track plan. I think I have enough room for the radius needed but if I don't I can always use the Autoracks in the point to point part of the layout and as loading scenery for the plant. Tim K

I started building yesterday morning and I am now finished the bench work less the foam ,I will add that later this week:thumb: . What I ended up with is something that looks like a pair of glasses. Starting from the half basement . Five foot square on the storage side that joins to the...

I should be able to make a 30 inch radius at both ends without any problem. Other than not looking proper will the 86 foot autoracks not handle a 22 inch curve? Just curious. Tim K

Fruit cellar door opens into the room and that is it. Thanks cidchase Tim K

That is exactly it other than no door at the bottom of the stairs and the garage door opens into the room. Have you been to my house ?????:D Tim K

The entrance into the basement is were the the half basement starts. It is 7'6" from the 25' wall. Yes Russ that is what I intend to do , the layout will look like a large letter P or J . I will run the layout against the 25' wall turn off the wall before the fruit cellar make a large enough...

First off I would like to appolagize to everyone for waisting your time with this ,I should just pick a layout and go with it . I also have no way at this time to show a sketch at this time. So I will describe it as accurately as possible so you know what I have to work with. The 25'...

Yes the door is only to enter the fruit cellar (another name for it ) it is used maybe a couple times a week. That is the only reason I would do this because of the low traffic. Tim K

That is prety much it Andrew I spent a little time masking out both ideas I have and decided pretty quickly that the around the room layout was not only more appealling visually but it also gave me a lot more room for my boats. Plus my wife agreed that if I wanted to expand in the future I...

Yes the door is full size. I do have one other option . My wife suggested that I clear the one side of the basement and build there . What I would end up with is a long O shape roughly 25X6 but I don't think that would be as appealing visually as the other which is more around the room...

I also need to leave the center of that area open for my other hobby racing radio controlled boats. That is were I will work on them . Tim K

Good descriptions for a cold cellar :) . I can't post any pics but the area is a very simple 14X18 with the door along the one wall for the cold cellar.Two wall are 18 and the door wall is 14 . I cant move it away from that wall because the other area of the basement is out of bounds. Tim
