Tour of my HO scale 2x8 switching layout

This is a tour of my layout and what detail that I have done so far. It is modeled after the DT&I railway (CN, ANN ARBOR. GTW) This modern era layout is powered by the digitrax zepher. and all track is code 83 accept for the ,branch line in the back of the layout its code 100
. Stay tuned for more updates and some howto's on scenery , installing sound units, superdetailing etc,,,

Love the DT&I Geep unit. Now THAT is a good, dirty, WORKING loco. No pretty boy.

killer stereo in that DT&I unit. Where'd they find a 70 volt player?

Hey Mike, Roland here the lay out looks amazing for the small space you modeled on. Im a happy Canadian who is a CN fan, keep it up hope to see more expansion somewhere down the rails.

Nice work man. Love the weathering

AC-DC ?.............

HELL YEA, good to see someone still has good tast in musice, Not this modern crap.

Nice layout though, wish mine will look half as good when done.

I really like your partition in the middel, it gives a small layout a lot of depth. My layout is on a 5x8, but it does not have the dimension that yours does, I think i will try to partition.

Is your track plan available somewhere?  It looks like you're using a variant Ingilnook spur cluster. I'm just curious. I'm doing a feasibility study of building a HO layout in the garage; it will probably be a skinny "island" style layout, optimized for displaying rolling stock. I've been trolling (in the fishing sense) the internet for ideas.

purdy good!! lol im in the middel of building a shelf layout myself,only mine will be a little bit bigger. its a 2x14 ft with an interchange on one end, and on the the other it curves around into a junk yard. the interchange will be with KCS.

(thumbs up if ya like the KCS) they are my home railroad.
