2-6-6-2's

Those are Mantua 2-6-6-2's. I just wish I had a better place to run them. The Switching layout is limited. Back and forth. Up and down. Over and over.

Enlarging the layout.

I have gotten tired of a 16' X 2' switching layout. I have stripped the old boards and gotten rid of them. I have built all new tables, 5 of them. All surface material is new. you can see the opening to the center area. This will be closed by a lift out section.

Shaping up pretty good Frank. Won't be so hot up there now. Our computer room is in the finished attic room similar to your train room, very comfy now.
