Reply to ""Layout" resume's"

My layout is the Corder & Loki RR. Loki is the cat and manager. Originally, it was designed to fit in a 10’ x 11’ room. It features MTH RealTrax and is powered by a ZW-R. The Legacy controller is connected through two Lionel Track Power Controllers allowing simultaneous Legacy, TMCC, and conventional operations. There are six blocks of track that can be turned on and off with Atlas switches. The outer loop allows for 0-42 rolling stock. The inner loop permits operation of 0-31. All turnouts are remote 0-42. Table construction is 1/2” plywood screwed to 2”x4” studs. It is made to disassemble into four sections. All sections and legs are attached with carriage bolts. 
I prefer operating accessories. They include Lionel’s gantry crane, oil derrick, water tower, transfer depot, and fruit express terminal. The transfer depot was rewired to allow the lights to operate on a separate circuit from the man pushing a dolly. The MTH engine house roof is removed to reveal PRR 1361. Atlas switch tower and passenger depot keep freight and people moving on time. The Woodland Scenic door factory is the largest employer on the table. 
Unfortunately, progress on this layout has come to a standstill. Mismanagement and labor disputes have hampered efforts to finish landscaping. 
I enjoy running trains from different eras. At the time of this posting, operations of diesel motive power was underway, although steam locomotives tend to do most of the work. imageimageimageimageimageimageimageimage
