I reached a milestone on my model railroad expansion today. Its L girder open grid with sawn out roadbed and most track is going up or down. If it was a flat table construction it would have been much faster, and me working slow on it doesn't help.
I have had two meandering loops trackwork operating for some time now, 1st I had one loop going so I could run a train. This helps keep interest up no doubt.
I was planning to build a HO layout adjacent to my O but decided to expand the O where HO was planned.
On the new expansion I already had the framework up and now have most of the roadbed in place so now I have to cut into one loop to start making track for the considerably longer loops. So for quite awhile now I'm back to one train.
Its 118 sq. feet, 174 feet of track counting sidings and a small yard, 13 switches,
it'sin my living room. I have a scale blueprint, thats where I get these dimensions.
