Kevin please let us know when you have this cross over accomplished! With video!

I will certainly do that, John. Spent all day laying track. The east side of the inner loop is connected after a mammoth workout for my Dremel. Lots of Gargraves to cut. F141FE45-089A-4C14-B7F9-483F8A4DC5B1

Thanks Kevin,

The table layout spans three rooms.  Hardly to scale, it's only a toy train layout.  I run seven full trains and two trolleys at the same time.  It's powered by 2 ZW's, a Z4000, and a CW80 for one of the trolleys.  As you'll see from this post, I like lots and lots of trains.

This rather poorly done video shows my "Santa Fe" room.  I wanted to make the bridges with the Santa Fe colors.

This short video is taken from the middle room.

I built this one nearly four years ago, when I retired from teaching.  The poker group loves watching the trains go by.  One ZW, four MTH engines, and DCS.

Hope you like them and get some ideas from them.  Again, keep us posted on your progress.  You will find most of the guys love trains as much as I do.

Wow, Jerry. That is amazing! I love it and it gives me so many ideas to dream about. For now my attic layout, while having a fair amount of square footage, will be pretty simple and manual. Two trains is about all I can handle. I’m also just that kind of guy: I don’t like my car turning my headlights on for me, I like to turn the knob myself! I don’t like foam coming out of the soap dispenser, I like to grab a bar and lather up on my own. Too many things are done for us these days. When did all that change? But I digress... your setup is truly spectacular. Thank you for sharing the great pictures and videos. 

Kevin
