After many kicks at the proverbial cat and much thought about whether or not to post my efforts may I present my humble layout. Hoping to start construction before the cold weather ends... still have a few minor givens and druthers to iron out but the basic plan should remain intact.
Loosely based on the Finger lakes Railroad only I plan to backdate as the whim hits me and run steam era trains as well.... only they will be lettered for FGLK too... yes I know it never really happened but this allows me some level of freelancing while maintaining a loose grounding in reality.... besides its my layout so I can do whatever I want :razz: :mrgreen:
By the way the grades are not marked but the trackage along the wall will be about 5" higher than the yard and other tracks along the front edge of the layout.
