I'm geting old and I don't like the basement anymore. Moving up to the attic. A warning! If you are looking for a Hi Teck layout, don't look here. I'll be 62 in March and what I have is what I have. Old teck is fine with me.
Still have some work in basement, but plaining starts now. This one will be alot like my old one. Built for running trains. Very few tunnels to run into. Can't see the trains inside them, so their won't be any. What good is it to do something you can't see. If it is there and moving I'll be able to see it. I Had four main lines each almost 60' long. Two high and to low. The trains ran very well. Very few derailments. I hope the new one runs as well. I will have less space in the attic. I haven't even measured it yet. All in good time. I have no reason to rush. Slow and steady.
My locomotive and car roster is a good one. The PRR and CNJ domonate it. I have other roads including my own ANNA RR. Steam or diesel types are well represented. This has nothin to do with the layout, so.
This layout will start out as a double mainline in a broken dog bone configeration. Access from three sides. The long back will be along the wall. Where the layout crosses a eave access opening removeable bridges will span the opening. This is my starting point. Two four foot long thirty inch wide four leged tables will stand on either side of the eave assess opening. A four track lift bridge with a removeable center span will connect them. All tables built from this starting point will only need two legs.
So much for now.
