Looks really nice Charlie.

Keep it up Charlie.  Don't do like me, get trains running and then don't have time to do a lot more.

The layout is coming along great.  The fascia board looks really nice.  I saw the video of your first run.  Sorry to hear about your dad.  Toy trains sure have come along way in 60 years.

 

Thanks for the update.  Looking forward to more updates.

Charlie, Nice work, these small things really make for a complete look.

you have the makings of a real super layout. enjoy the build!1

More progress today.  I now have a turntable   Thanks Al.

 

 

 

 

 

This is one of the threads I always enjoy reading.  Congrats on the TT.  

 

Can't wait to see more of the progress.

it looks good

Looking great!

Looks like a pro install, with a helper. Can't wait to see it progress.

Dan

Right on Charlie! Moving right along!

Looks good, someone else also seems likes he approves  That is still my favorite part of this hobby or any other I have done with my kids, seeing the excitement on their faces.

Some great progress.

Looking good CHARLIE!!!!  I see your using those safety glasses.  Safety first!!!

You never stop moving on your new layout, Charlie. Nice choice with Al's turntable.

Oh yeah, looking great Charlie. moving quick!!!!!!!

Today in between trips outside to clear the snow I got going on my control panel enclosures.  Got the pieces assembled and laminated.  Here they are laminated before I took the router to them.

 

Looking good. I like you enclosures!

Very nice Charlie! 

Very nice layout Charlie. Even when it is completed, it looks like you will have a great deal of fun operating it. The CN units in the background suggest you are modeling present day Upper Peninsula railroading. Like many others here, I am looking forward to seeing the layout as you continue to build it.

Charlie now i see why you are making such great progress, the young man in the turntable hole is doing all the work while you are taking pics and on the forum. seriously its great the you have a "big" helper working along side you. that will be memories that are priceless to him. great dad and a great build.

i was wondering if i could borrow him to work on my layout as he appears to be a well trained helper!!!

Great progress in 9 months of work! Have been following the thread keep it up and keep us posted. Thanks for the up date, fine job.

Looking great!

Hi Karl.  Actually my son just likes CN and GT.  I could certainly run them though if I was targeting modern times in the UP.  Transition era is really what I am going for here.  I like steam too much to be modern

I'm so jealous!

 

Looks great, should be a lot of fun.

Charlie,  you're making a lot of progress. Looking great !!!!

 

 

Alex

Now That's A WOW, and I love the Smoothness of your turntable!!! What brand is the table, and which indexing system are you using? It's Nice, Really Nice! Happy Railroading.

 

The turntable is Millhouse River Studio using their indexing.

Looking nice Charlie

Great job on the install.

Very Nice!! You're making some good progress and I am looking forward to more photos and videos.

I'm so jealous!

 That is sweet!

Nice to see a video of the tt in action.  Looking good.

 

Thanks for the update Charlie.

Pretty spiffy!!

I always like a turntable.  Last 1:1 one I saw operate was at the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, but I think I recall they have one in Elkins West Virginia now.

 

You bought a grand one, that is for sure!  

Charlie,

   Very nice job so far, congrats to you and the boys!
