Train man
I haven't read this from the beginning but I have picked up on some of your progress updates. It looks like a nice track plan with the ability to do some fun independent running while still having a yard area to build trains. If I could make one small suggestion I would say to get some power to the layout and test run some motive power to be sure things will run well before you glue everything down permanently. Rolling passenger cars or freight cars by hand may not expose vulnerable areas of trackage problems. It may save you some track and time doing a few test runs as you go. Nice job and what a great way to spend your retirement years. I look forward to your updates.
