@Mark Boyce posted:Your layout is really taking shape nicely. I was also wondering about your plans for arm's reach to some areas, or do you plan to climb on the layout. I gave up on climbing on things a couple years ago. I think I had to do too much of it in my working years.
I love enclosed tunnels, especially if you have any thoughts of using Go Pro or other on board cameras. Do you have plans for accessing derailments.
My background was scale HO trains as a child and up until I was about 55. Over the last 8 or 9 years, I have accumulated a small collection of scale offerings mostly from Lionel and MTH. I love the details, but once the train is moving at any speed at all, I can't see the details. Your trains look great! Sometimes I wonder if I will be selling mine at some point and going with post-war and other less detailed semi-scale trains, as I am more clumsy with breaking detail parts. I really like what you have done, and agree with others, you did a great job with the tinplate track. It took me some getting used to the third rail of O gauge, so I am also getting used to seeing tinplate track. All that to say, I am impressed with what you have done!!!
Mark, I had HO,N,and O guage. Recent!y I focusing on Postwar. I don't have a huge amount of command engines so I'm keeping those I have but from here on it's going to be postwar.
