Benchwork For New Subway Layout:

I like the picture of Mario holding the broom! He looks spent.

Great work!!! Do you have a track plan?  Hope is all well with you guys.

Hey Jerry

You have to resend those drawings   Can't make out where the stations are

Ben, any luck with that track plan? Chris starts  vacation Tuesday.

Ben you have been so much help Thanks!!! But a certain fourm member pleads that you stop abusing him and work on the track plan.

Chris, Great to see your new layout coming along. I know how much we all enjoy our trains and having your own layout at home is great for the one's soul. Just one thing, hope nature does not repeat any super storms in our life time. All the best with your layout and trains.

Having too much fun screwing with him  Taking all my time away from the track plan

Did you get the picture showing where the stations are

Chris picked up most of the track today. Still needs a few odds and ends.

did ben give you the track plan yet?

 

I did one with the Atlas 10.0 freeware. It should be close enough I hope

The upper switch and the open spot on the next track will get a switch.These will go up to the upper level.

Ben didn't do one?

Would you like me to do one?  I have RR-Track.  If so give me your layout dimensions and other requirements.  My current layout and future layout generally take between 15 and 20 iterations before I am satisfied with at least the start of laying track down.

Joe I talked to Greg and Chris yesterday, they seem happy with what they have for the lower level. I would have liked to of had some layup tracks down there but Chris is running of of time. He wanted to get the track down on his vacation week but I'm heading over there this morning around 08:00. I'll get it done in a few hours. I also want to get his ramp in today.

I'm getting closer to mine now. If you would, come buy and we can kick some ideas around. I have a 30x50 area to work with. I would appriciate some help with a track plan. I have no experience with the sofeware. I'm planing a Subway, some grade with Elevated and Embankment Lines like the brighten line.

Please keep posting updates.  Very cool!

Laying the track now, will post pictures tonight.

OK Brian .. when is a good time for you?

First subway level trackwork done. Running both loops on a z-1000 for test and everthing is working. Pictures to follow.

Joe, how about tomorrow, Sunday, some time, we'll have some luch here?

Brian .. I can make 1:30 to 4:00.  No lunch necessary as I cook a Sunday dinner for my mom and others.

Ok Joe, I'll be home by 2:00, I'll Facebook ya the address.

Pictures are in the track work forum.
