Reply to ""Layout" resume's"

Mine is called "the layout". Based on Midwest topography where the ATSF ran through Illinois. 

It's 16'X17'.

It has 027 profile track with Ross switches. Outer main has 072 curves, inner 054. It has a passenger terminal, fright yard, and engine terminal with a 30" turntable. Minimum curve in the freight yard is 042, way in the corner. Locomotives besides a switcher never see that curve it.

Power for the trains comes from a Postwar ZW with TVS Diodes and fast blow fuses. Accessories are powered by a Type Z. Trains are controlled by DCS or TMCC.

I run mostly scale sized locomotives and rolling stock. The only non scale sized items are passenger cars. I run 16" cars as I can run a longer passenger train with them in my space than the 18" or 21" cars. All locomotives are scale size. Locomotives and rolling stock are all Santa Fe or Southern Pacific and represent equipment used in the 1948-1951 time frame.
