Hello everyone! It has been a while since I have posted anything on my layout, but I thought I share its current progress. The layout is 6 by 10 using Atlas Track, an includes one passing siding, two return loops, an industrial yard, and can run two trains (sharing the track of course), along with a third engine switching in the yard. The ballast is non-clumping/non-scented cat litter, along with many of the buildings being from Menards, as well as some classic Lionel accessories. Fall/Halloween is one of my favourite times of year, hence the fall colours as well as the haunted house. As far as I know, there is no other layout quite like this, and was made/designed using the free Scarm technology. I can't thank my friends enough for all their help in making my 1st layout possible!I hope you all enjoy and keep on railroading!

Very nicely done. I'm working on a 5 x 11 layout and it is always nice to see what can be done in smaller spaces.
Cool, that's a lot of railroad in that space, nice job!
Looks great!
Very nice and creative. Is the ballast glued on?
That Blue Comet is gorgeous.
Awesome layout in a tight space.
I will have about 6 1/2 ft x 14 ft to work with. This is inspiration to keep working at it.
Any chance you could post video of the layout running? Also, love the blue comet!!

Thank you so much sir😁! Ikr?! It took a lot of finagaling, but it was well wroth it! It even has 045/054 curves on the main line and only 036 in the yard and spurs.

Yes she is! She's one of my favourites and reminds me of home, as I hail originally from New Jersey. You are very kind! Hope to see pictures of yours too!

I most certainly will! And thank you 😊!
You did fit a big layout in a small space. I can appreciate the challenges since my layout room is 11x11.
Well done!

Both are great. Nice use of the music to break things up too.
One criticism tho - please shoot horizontal videos. Vertical format doesn't do trains justice.
I really liked the Blue Comet video especially.
Interesting how modern video will pick up certain types of lights as if they were a strobe light when they do not appear so in real life. Your depot platform light was strobing, as does my Bachmann 'trench' engine's headlights when I shoot video of it for some reason...
Thank you for sharing the videos!! Nice job!
Nice, can you show the track layout plan.?
