Then I decided to get another double track bridge for the front. Two tracks will run through the back bridge while only one track will run through the front one. What I planned to do is run a plank roadway in the bridge next to the single track for trucks hauling coal. The three tracks coming to the bridges come from under the stairs. Starting at the back that track is a yard lead to the front of the basement, the track next to it is the mailine and the track closest to the front is a spur coming from a future coal operation which also comes from the front of the basement which will allow for pull through coal loading of the hopper cars. Going toward the back of the basement will be a freight yard, numerous industrial sidings and a small engine facility..........Paul
Paul that sounds really cool! We need some wide shots of your layout! I need to get my brother over to help me with the electrical so I will have somewhere to plug stuff in!
Going to the train room now! Look forward to more good stuff on here!
Mark how are things going there?
Mike G cough doing any better? Snow get there yet?

Jim, Thank you for asking. I took these photographs to show the start of a mock up starting the layout build.
I haven’t done much on the layout. Today I helped my older daughter and son-in-law move some things. I let them do the heavy lifting. I’m still on PT, the main issue now is the weak foot from nerve damage. I am starting to get a little stronger.
