One month later... I'm back. You have a great layout, and I would like to replicate it (with some tweaks of my own). Is there a track plan you followed? Would you happen to know where I could find this? Thanks!
@Trainz35 I created this layout from scratch. If you send me your email address, I can send you a sketch of the layout. The lower level is a simple oval. The upper level mainline is a stretched out figure 8 with a passing siding and a ladder siding off the passing siding. The two levels are not connected. I look forward to see how you replicate this layout. BTW, I recommend using engines with odyssey speed control to climb the steep grades on the over-under.
@davypettit Thanks for the quick response. I see what you mean, and I've already got a couple modifications to it (extended yard off to the side, turntable and engine facilities). Once I actually do something, I'll be sure to post a video.
Wow Dave! Your layout is looking fantastic my friend! You really have that MTH bridge fit in there perfectly! I also love the rock face by the lower tract! Stunning work! And that CP looked so sick pulling that long consist! Keep the videos coming!
Man your layout is sick and the SD90 is bad ACe! :) I had the same problem that you are having with one of my engines and it ended up being the motor drive board. Keep your videos coming!
this is the longest frait train I have ever seen in my hole life.
