Reply to "My All Postwar Lionel Layout “Updated 4/7/24”"

One of those BIG Brown Box Trucks just stopped by. They dropped off the two boxed O72’s, brand new. Along w/ the other pair (one boxed, one not) & these 16 sticks of O72 curved track, the elevated outer loop is complete & now ready to continue fabrication. Since I have some bigger trains, they’ll need their room to roll properly down the rails. The elevated inner loop will most likely be O54. But having these four new switches, most of the larger trains will now have the capacity to change their directions. A long while back I’d built & created a platform that houses five O22’s, which is at the upper end of the horseshoe loop coming up from the main level. These will enable a train to travel upwards & traverse onto either of the inner or outer elevated loops. Since the main level is almost all O31 as well as the switch platform, none of the larger trains will have the ability to go downwards. Being I have these new large switches, I am completely fine w/ them staying up top yet still can change their directions.
If you’re not familiar already, I’ve added a few pics & a test clip of said platform in the comments to help better understand what I’ll be creating in FRV’s future.

Happy Friday to Y’all Tube Trackers!
