Reply to "2-rail Layout building"

ROO,

Here's a rough look at my layout,I would call it,"under destruction" rather than construction,but at least it's a plan. 1st photo is on the north 50ft shelf which will house the main yard and some industry. The next 3 shots are of the east end of the yard.The train is traveling from the yard to the east shelf which will be all industry. 1more shot of that area,then we go back to the west end of the yard. This end was supposed to be a duplicate of the east end,but in fiddling around,discovered if I shifted the mainline to an inside industry track,I could make a nice curve and connect directly with my next 2'x4' board instead of making a bridge to connect the yard and 2'x4'. Going back to the 2nd photo,the track with white ties,was the mainline,now it will either be eliminated ,used for the yard,or an industrial track. Now let's go to photo#8 which was the planned "bridge" to the next shelf which is no longer needed but gives you folks an idea where the main out of the west end of the yard is going. Next shot, is of the west end of the basement and shows a shelf which will be used for probably a short industry. It's about 23" deep,don't know what that is in mm's sorry am restricted to feet and inches as measuring goes. The shot with the stairs,shows most of a nice shelf on the south end of the basement which ends just short of the staircase but has room to continue under it. Next is the water equipment and sump pump which I will have to go out around Next shot is showing the far south end of the basement and a little of the east industrial shelf. The DCS control shows some planned switches on the east shelf. That short Atlas switch,is to be used for a "derail" or "catch track" as they are called, to keep runaway freight cars off the mainline. That last shot is the "workbench." LOL Relettered a lot of cars there. I have  place for peninsulas in the basement where  all my wife's "junk"is piled hither and yon. But since the shelf I'll be using is 36&1/2" high,a lot can be housed under those shelves. It looks bad,and it is,(lol),but you keep planning and hoping. If you lose hope regardless of what you're working at,you may as well IMG_9817throw in your cards. Hope you fellows can give me ideas where to place planned industries,which include a modern grain facility,NABISCO plant,junk yard,(I got the junk for that!),paper plant,corn syrup transfer facility or Pepsi plant,lumber facility,cement plant,foam production plant and we will see if there's space for more. I have NO IDEA how that 1 picture got separated from the rest! Enjoy! As Always,Al Hummel IMG_9819IMG_9826IMG_9822IMG_9830IMG_9845IMG_9836IMG_9839IMG_9840IMG_9841IMG_9844IMG_9843IMG_9846IMG_9847
