@Mark Boyce Its all a learning experience right? And at least now it pushes me to get the Jeep done to get out of the garage and my garage gets a nice little make over and roof! haha (Gotta look on the bright side, right?) And right? This wasn't a problem just a few months ago, but I think I have a solution to the prob
@RSJB18. You hit the nail on the head. Ultimately, I may build this module with just 1x4 to make it light. I'll be bolting it to the other two modules, with the goal of making it so IF I ever need to get to the sump pump, I can remove it pretty easily. I'm also leaving it off the wall on that side incase I need to get to the battery. I actually may start working on it this afternoon.
As a quick update, I think I have the finalized track plan for the Corner Variation. This is adding a 42x55 module (in blue) to connect to two pieces. I spent about a few hours making sure I could make O-48 curves work on all of the pieces, and I did! I also added an extra passenger siding in the lower right hand corner. I think it would be fun to park some extra cars, or the RDC Budd cars I have on there.
And this is what I want the true future of the layout to be. This will be an extra little staging yard and above that, I will put a level of houses that will have a trolley track run in front of them. Ultimately, the trolley track will go into the "down town" area to connect it. The thought is to use super streets and a Z stuff controller for the trolley. I may also try to blend in an abandoned coke oven scene by the staging tracks. Heres the vaporware version of it!
