Good topic Arnold. I believe you are hoping for pictures or videos but right now everything is packed up in boxes in the new train room(spare bedroom) waiting for storage elsewhere so layout construction can begin.
I'm hoping to come up with a design so that I can run three trains at the same time and have rolling stock for many types of unit trains. I can run an Anheuser Busch reefer train pulled by a Bud GP9 or one of two AB steam engines, another very long beer reefer comprised a combination of steel and woodside reefers from all manufacturers pulled by a variety of steam or diesel engines. A Blue and yellow K-line Virginian Trainmaster pulling a string of yellow Virginian two bay hoppers, an intermodal unit train comprised of three sets of Lionel spine cars, two sets of Lionel maxi-stacks and several K-line and MTH double stack well cars. I've also got plenty of tank cars for unit train duty.
