N Scale train layout 36" X 80" w/ Superior Paper & Kraft Mill & Glacier Gravel

See the latest video dated 6/09/11 for the latest update on this layout.This is an N scale model railroad. I found this layout in "TheTrain.org David's world of N-Scale. While most of the trackage and some of the buildings are the same, the simularity ends there. All of the scenery is new and some of the internal buildings are new to the layout. Currentyl two trains are running in DC mode simultaneously, one has sound which can be heard in the video. The layout will be converted to DCC in the near future.

This video was captured on my Verizon Blackberry on 8/26/2010 and runs for about 7-1/2 minutes.

I'm retired and do model trains as a hobby. This layout took about a year to complete as a part-time project. Everything is still pretty pristine. I haven't aged the buildinds, trains and layout yet. I'm "N_ScaleGuy" on Twitter. I'd like to hear from train modelers & share train videos.

[ronrouleau]

@rpscsx Thanks for your comments. Being new to N-scale i needed some ideas for a layout and found the website thetrain.org from which I modeled this layout. I made significant scenery changes to my own liking. I pretty much followed the track layout on the website but used Atlas switches to facilitate the electrical. I'm currently getting the layout to run on DCC. I have a couple of deisels with decoders that also run on DC. One has sound at the moment.

Very nice layout getting max out of the size

[downhillracer737]

Your entire layout is well planned and looks outstanding!!! Only recommendation I have is you should slow down your trains, On any layout, N scale or otherwise, one must keep the movements to a reasonable scale mph, Your layout will then look very realistic and enhance all the hard work you put into it!!! Congratulations on a job well done!!!
