Reply to "2-Rail Home Layouts - How Many Really Exist?"

Quick update on my layout, I'm still framing out my basement but have approximately 60% remaining so took a break from that this weekend to begin installing a hand laid #10RH code 125 turnout on a module I had brought along from my previous home. At this point I'm only plating/spiking rails sufficient to secure them properly as I will likely need to make adjustments when I permanently mount the modules to the walls. The photos are in sequence of tearing out, prepping and gluing the ties and installing the stock rail, and the last image is of the lower level location of the turnout on my very crude track diagram. I'll post more photos as I get it operational.

2/22 Edit

I got a little more completed on the turnout this afternoon after work. I have most of the rail cut and fitted with the Right O Way castings. I just need to finish soldering feeder wires, ballasting, spiking and installing the Tortoise to have it operational.

3/1 Update

Feeder wires soldered to all rail sections except curved stock rail. Powered it up and tested this morning and it works exceptionally well. I just need to finish soldering curved stock rail feeder wire, installing heel blocks, rail braces, remaining tie plates and spikes and paint.
