Reply to "Building the Riverdale, Pittsburgh, & Western 10x11.5+ Layout (Updated 11/19/23: Welcome to Western PA!)"

Hey Everyone! I wanted to give a little update.

All of the modules are officially in the newly christened Train Room. I'm currently working on spacing them properly and aligning them up. I still need to build the 5th module, but the track plan will work with O48 curves. I need to decide my construction style for the new module. I want it to be light weight so I can lift it out if I need to get to the sump pump, so should it be 1x4s with additional buttressing in the corners or do I just stick with how I currently built the rest (2x4s)? I'm open for thoughts here.



I also put in some new investments in the pike as well. I was able to snag a Fastrack Truss bridge off of Facebook marketplace for a great deal. I've been playing around with it because I don't have any track yet, but it looks amazing and I can't wait to get it on the full build.

The other big addition was I pre-ordered the new DCS system from @MrMuffin'sTrains. I missed out on a used DCS system with a remote a few months ago for a steal of a price and really want to have DCS capability on my layout. I figured, by the time they come in, I should be at the point where I'm wiring blocks and running trains.
