Hello all thank you for your kind words ..it has been a fun project ..and will continue ..now to make it look pretty and figure out all the automatic switching ...
A gentlemen on ebay in the Pittsburgh area listed some outside 3rd rail shoes ..which I purchased ...I asked if he had any other old O scale pieces ...he replied "why yes a whole layout ...."..... the pile of track was 45 pieces.... 7 pieces were missing to complete it as original....fortunately... 4 of those were straights ..... the double track curve was going to be a nightmare ..( I thought).....tow months later I purchase a huge pile ( made up of several old layouts) ..outside 3rd rail track ...of various brands ....bits and pieces ...plus enough to do my shelf layout ( double track main on all 4 floors ) .....plus more switches than this cowboy can figure out where to place ... .... luckily within the bits of odd ball stuff were pieces I could cut and fit for the voids in the Multiplex including the double track curve section .... fate and timing were shining bright upon me ...
The new tankless water heater just arrived ..... once installed the last corner of the shelf layout can go up ... ... it's fun to be crazy ..as it keeps me from going insane ...
Cheers Carey
