Hey Mike, I really like your layout,and thanks for the video updates, I have a question, way back on part 4 you put in your track work for the yard, I like how it was placed, can you tell me the width and length of the yard? I know you have change it, but I would like to use that plan on my layout!!! Thanks Mike keep up the good work
Thanks for # 21 Mike. It reminds me of the road from Deming to Las Cruces... tourist traps and pecan farms. I am starting to watch the videos over again. Got the benchwork and once we get back from our extended vacation I am finally going to get to work. John
Wow The Ghost town is looking great! That mineshaft looks so good to! Keep the videos coming! Btw i Just uploaded a video of My first N scale layout! I hope you can take the time to watch it and give me some pointers! Lol Thanks!
When you really compare the fact you get track , roadbed, and turnout motors included the cost is about the same as other brands and can be a lot less work.
About 30 inches.
Thanks , Mike

@RailfanningRulez I copied the original on the computer and used Photo Shop to change it then added the yucca stalks after the sign was completed.

Did you try using the artist pencil in 1/2 of the caliper,set to the center of the roadway? That might be a bit easier, to locate the center line.
