Thanks for posting, looking forward to the details on the sidings especially.

I got them from the York train show about 3 or 4 years ago. They are made by MTH. They are extremely rare now.

Thank you, that means a great deal as this is my first time in my life that I am building something.

Thank you for that advice. This weekend I plan to work on the street car line. Once that is done I will update my title to reflect the date with each update.

They are atlas track.
This weekend, I worked on leveling the bridge. For the longest time, my bridge just sat on the table, and the tracks would rise and fall as the train traveled on the bridge. I cut out the homasote and wired the bridge. I am very happy with the outcome. My original plan was to finish installing three more switches, (two 054 right Hand and 054/072 right hand curved switch) however with no expected delivery date from Atlas, my focus had changed to adding buildings. I will be working on the town scene next until the switches are available.

Your trains look great running across that bridge so smoothly! I have to get two bridges across my chasm also. I'm sorry you have to wait on your Atlas switches, but you have a plan There is always something to do on a layout.

Thank you for your kind words, I truly appreciate that. I was hoping to be done the track laying phase of the layout by now, but as you know life gets in the way and I miss my chance to get the final three switches that I need. I can go with the Ross switches, in which I probably will depending on when Atlas respond to my email asking for a delivery date lol. If I go with Ross for the final three switches, it will require me to cut some of my atlas track to fit the ross track into place. I totally agree with always something to do on a layout lol. This weekend, I've also cleared track that I am not using, and stored them away, cleaned the track and starting planning where I want to place buildings.
