Passenger yard expansion.

I need 4 more short tracks at the end of the passenger yard for 5 'short length' trains.

Warm enough to go out to the detached shop and cut up 1/2" ply and homasote 6' long by 8" wide with one end 'angled'.

Glued....

and nailed the homasote to the ply.

There are 4 short trains on one passenger track plus another in the Seattle's freight yard that make it difficult to run any train but the nearest one to the turnout.

One Burlington Zephyr.

PRR Aerotrain.

Milwaukee Hiawatha.

UP M-10000

The Electroliner in the freight yard.

New extension added to the existing passenger yard.

Since it's at the end of the yard, it won't interfere with 'people movement'.

Supports are 1"X4".

'Dry fit' of turnouts and track.

'Train lengths' versus 'track lengths' makes my 'expansion' feasible.

Very 'cost effective'; 60 bucks to get turnouts and track and I already had the wood.
