A 2019 Christmas Layout memory 
New Year, new set of 'memories'
This first image shows the original track plan, especially focusing on the left side. I have 2 AIUs (for non-DCS folks, they are used to control accessories and switches). I had one planned for the right side under the plateau (the outline of which you can see on the right), and one on the left side. The one of the left side developed a problem and wouldn't do anything, so I had to remove it. WHen I did that I also removed all of the switches that it was going to conrol on that left side. The only 2 switches left were the 2 that are port of the "CONNECT" trackage. The 2 trains could still change sides but it took a lot more thought to pull it off.
The trackage marked with black are for a conventional steamer.
the yellow and orange are for my 2 PS3 tin-plate trains.
This is the track plan for the plateau. It ran what I call the 'Family Train' - the 2343 F3 set Dad bought in 1950 or so, along with all of the cars that he also bought at that time. The elongated rectangle on the diagonal is an MTH arch bridge
