4x8 HO layout DCC U30B, GP40-2 action

This is in a shed behind my house. Some of the rolling stock are Tyco from train sets I've had since the mid 80's. I call it my poor mans HO layout. Although I do have a few hundred dollars already invested. It still needs some work
but I'm getting there.

What DCC system do you have? Nice layout, and locomotives!

Bachmann EZ Command

[rockguitarist946]

i heard that system is crap

[ChessieSeaboardX]

It works fine for me. Like I told the other guy a couple months ago if you read my description I call this my poor mans layout. The EZ command system was in my budget. There are some things I would like to change about the EZ command myself, but you get what you pay for. Thanks for you comment

i think the cars are the wrong scale.

[ChessieSeaboardX]

You would be correct. If you read the info on this video I call it my "poor mans" HO layout. The wrong scale automobiles are one of the reasons why its a poor mans layout. Thanks for posting.

Nice layout I would move it into the house not the shed the beautiful train deserves better

[MrkmTrainFAN]

My previous layout was just that. Keep modeling and one day you can go broke like me buying the good shit.

P.S. it is true, you only get what you pay for :P

very nice job isee

[Petemonster62]

ChessieSeaboardX; you have fitted a very sophisticated track plan inro a 4 X 8 foot space! And the sound effects and smooth running clearly show the advantages of DCC. Just keep on building & adding as you can.

A common statistic in modelrailroading is it will cost the average modeler 50-100 dollars per-square foot on their layout.
