Good Morning. Doing some plotting on how I am going to bridge the gap between levels. The black stip on the main level represents where I will place a road. I am thinking of using a building backdrop (this is only a scan, and I intend to use the actual building front - this one is from Cooch...

Ignore Chief - if there's anybody not worthy of the effort, it's that guy.

Chopped off the other sharp edge, so the access is now much improved, even though I did a lousy job of cutting this, as I cut it from beneath and ended up closer than I wanted to be. I'll work it out and place this spare piece and another wedge in the two corners where the outer loop...

sign1 "The Siren Call" - THAT was funny. Keep the faith my friend, tubular will set you free . . . .

I'm kinda getting to tending to those items as the track plan firms up. Here's one issue resolved: Contoured along the curve and the piece I chopped off of the sharp corner looks like it might slide right in where that track cuts off the table: just as I suspected: Little by...

Good morning - here are a few shots of a birds eye view as the track plan continues to be refined: Picked up a supply of black poster board today to cut to width for streets and sidewalks to lay out the scenery before finalizing the track plan: Still undecided as to how to handle...

A little problem solving issue, as there will be a cliffside in this area flaring down from the structures above: A dirt road will come in from the left for the convenience of visitors to "Wicked Wanda's". I will continue the road past the structure and into the cliffisde using the tunnel...

never too late, not quite sure if it will fit, but I'll take a look and I appreciate the suggestion.

shoot me now.

Here is some info I received on a fellow who has picked up the molds for a few of the out of production O-Scale Downtown Deco kits: Roscoe's Model Structures - Home

As part of finalizing the track plan, I am going to mock up the general outlines of the buildings I have on hand and the kits I have ready to build in order to determine what goes where and how the structures will work into the track plan. This way I can weigh the pros and cons of compromises in...

Thank you gents, hopefully will be able to get some video without teh phone . . . Nice story Don Still up in the air about whether or not to do the cut across in the upper right. I am weighing how the effect can work in the corner. In the meantime, I uncluttered the center section by...

Staretd to shoot a video of trains running on both levels - went ok, and then teh phone rang: YouTube - Post War Lionel Trains

Thanks Dr John and all. Regarding foreseeing problems with access, Why yes I do as a matter of fact. :mrgreen: Life is full of compromises, and I guess layout building is too. Yes, it will be a pain to access some areas, and I am willing to sacrifice in the interest of having teh layout look...

Still playing around with the track plan . . .

Good morning gents. Frank stands to the right side of the Chief and declares: "Hail to the Chief!" Frank stands to the left side of the Chief and deeclares: "Hail to the Chief!" Some random shots as I got to run a few trains around and troubleshoot the track and switches: The area where...

Thanks - iIf you've got a few hours to kill, here's 45 pages of the progress thus far: Model Train Journal :: View topic - Ongoing Layout Progress and there's about 1,000 photos on my photo hosting site: Lionel Lines and a bit on my under construction website: Lionel Lines

all tubular track - a few straights cut to fit. No room for storage sidings unfortunately. I am trying not to clutter the layout with too much track in favor of structures and scenery.

Good Morning. Been working on the track plan and . . . . With the possible addition of two hidden storage sidings, this is probably it: didn't quite get all of the 3d in, but you get the idea: The inclusion of switches to connect the inner and outer loops on both sides...

Good Morning all. Decided to move the inner loop run at right to the front from the back: I think this lets me build a better scene on the left side with only one run at the back. While it is getting there, I think the whole thing needs to be smoothed out - too many odd sized patches...
