The first "test" running of trains on the layout

Finally have enough track down and a PowerCab to use to run Trains on the layout. "Short and sweet" trains, many to test for bad spots and get the kinks out.

Love your train layout! Was wondering what code of track you are running code83?

[myowngod2]

@disturbed1954 You're correct. We use code 83, Atlas flex, with primarily Atlas #6's and a few #4's. Also a few Walther's/Shinohara curved turnouts and Peco curved.

and how many trains can you run at any one time

[myowngod2]

@jmsschooner We have run 4 trains at one time. One of those was a double head F-7 unit. So, 5 trains running with another 4-5 sitting on the track idle.
