Charlie, my former layout as pictured in last post had Four semi hollow doors, luggage latched together supported on sturdy metal legs. It had a working catenary (overhead electric power) and it worked flawlessly through all four tables! Very 1950’s vibe. Door # 4 had a separate ZW transformer for switching sidings and accessories. One could operate this alone while isolating the rest of the layout for continuous running and or a separate operator. Good times we’re had.
I am slowly rebuilding this layout with three tables currently (maybe the fourth table too) and will reinstall catenary. reestablished former layout will have a different look but function much the same as the one in early 2004 to 2005. It will have a lot of plasticville, and probably only one major accessory per door this time around. I am raising it 10 to 12 inches higher soon. This will give a considerable trackside view.
thanks for starting a cool thread.
