Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

The cat's away so the mice are playing.  Had the last few days all to myself.  The women in the family are in Paris so I took it upon myself to rebuild my layout in it's entirety.  Not that my layout was old, it's that I conceived it as a post-war layout but got involved with too much of a good thing.  

What I have now is a post-war layout.  Simple but effective track plan that allows three trains to operate.  Two freight and one passenger.  Plus loads of operating accessories.  

Amazing what can be done in just four days when you're alone.  I don't like being alone for too long however.  Picking the ladies up tomorrow night.

I will try to post some pictures soon.  Here is the track plan.  It fits in a 3' x 12' space.  There are six blocks and four turnouts.  I can run a passenger train around the outer loop and have two freight trains parked on the two inner passing sidings.  I can park the passenger train on block #4 and still run each of the two freight trains, letting them stop at the various operating accessories.  

It's an overly simple solution.  I don't know why it took me so long to discover it.
