@BillYo414 posted:Thanks for the reply! That's really impressive! I don't actually know much about the Great Northern besides their logo. Did you start with this much track at the beginning? Or did you complete one line from point to point and then add from there?
I would love to see an operating session! I bet they're exciting with such a large space and so much rolling stock to get on the move.
Bill,
I had everything planned out from the beginning for building the layout. If I remember correctly, I had the bulk of the track done within a couple of years. If you page back you will see some of the operating sessions posted in this thread. Anyone visiting the Cincinnati, Ohio area is always welcome to visit.
The one exception to the planning was the recently install passenger yard. The original passenger yard was only 2 tracks. I 'branched off' the 2 tracks to the next room and built a 12 track yard that is about 18'-20' long.
