2 rail ceiling layout video

Nice job.

I've gone back and forth over ceiling layouts in 3-rail over the past few years. Never thought about it for 2-rail because of a larger radius requirement. Something to re-consider.

I like it! I had planned to do the same thing in the breakfast/sun room we added last winter. Mind never got made but you're off to a great start. Did you know that you can buy wallpaper scenery to mount behind the tracks; it gives depth to your shelves.

There are probably other places that sell it but here's a link to one:

Very nice enjoyed the ride, keep us updated with your progress.

Thanks, Alex

Very nicely done.

Gene, that is very nice.  Lots of natural light and space.  Keep us posted.

very nice! you have a cross-gabled roof? makes for an interesting ceiling space.

Gene, Really nice!  Thanks for sharing.  Keep us posted on the progress!   Out of curiousity what is the radius you ended up with around the room?

The curves wouldn't make it inside the valance. Had to bridge the corners. The curves are 40.5 radius.

My wife and I were talking about putting some sort of scenic backdrop. I haven't gotten to that yet.

Yes the roof above the living area is cross-gabled. I get a lot of comments about that from visitors.

The gristmill is kit-bashed from an Atlas Trainman two story home. I'm still working on that one. There is also a Trainman rural station and a Walther's tower. Also if you watch closely you'll see a stone Ameri-Towne Flag Stop Station. These kits are all excellent buys in the O scale market. If I remember I got the two Trainman kits along with the Flag Stop and the stone work for $50.

Nicely done. I'd agree it looks like it will be perfect for some scenic backdrops.

Really well done..a shot from ground level would be way cool as well.

That looks cool!

View from floor level. The last three shots are right below the corner shown in the first photo. I run my train from the floor with a handheld memory throttle that gets its juice from the MRC 6200 in the picture. I get access to power by sliding away a small opening. See yellow clip.

I spliced the the handheld cable (grey) into network cable (blue) that can plugged into either of two outlets located in corners as seen. I plan to add another outlet pretty soon to have three locations to plug into.

nothing I love seeing more than a few Lackawanna box cars , you have given a few of us the bug to go up.
