Custom TW TrainWorx - O Gauge Suspended RR now up & running trains in IOWA!

TraindameTraindameOGR Forum Member

Cheers!

Our Traingineers have been on an installation whirlwind from the Texas Hill Country to last week in the frigid Iowa tundra - (never got above 29 degrees.... brrrrrr)! 

Chief Traingineer, Roger Farkash, designed this Suspended RR for a wonderful couple he had the opportunity to meet during one of the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder Meeting's where he was running trains on another custom RR he designed for Warren Buffett - aka the BNSF Layout - and as is often the case...one question and answer lead into a Traintastic Conversation with this couple and viola - bada boom bada bang - poof - ta da....  this Suspended RR is now "Hanging High" with Trains Running on the three loops of track!

I'm going to go backwards with this post and start with a finished video we received today from their son, a pilot, who took this .... DRONE VIDEO of his parent's Suspended RR. Check it out:

Farkash was joined by our East Coast Director, Mike Reagan (Reagan) and Traingineer, Mike Ellis (Ellis) and the three went to work last week on a three day install:

Amazing, thank you for the pictures.  ?? All done in house, or do you involve local architects/engineers, in such a detailed install??  There is a lot to the model train construction, also add basic support and room construction/remodel.  Eventually, there would be numbers associated with this elaborate install.  Again, Thank you

Wow!!! Indeed!  Amazing creative work!

The cabling almost disappears and does not detract from the view.  Now I gotta go and work on a letter.

Dear Santa,

Overall I've been very good this year.  If possible would like to change my earlier list to just one item...

Love it Oh that Santa... gotta B E L I E V E

Want to thank you all for your encouraging feedback! We've received enough requests that I'm thinking Farkash and Reagan just may have a "Suspended, O Gauge, roadbed/railings/track configuration" in the TW TrainWorx Product Offering for 2019!!! But shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - don't want to let the caboose out of the roundhouse on that just yet...

Wow, this is something else. I do love how it went from foam to mountains. The view from below very cool as well. Also, I have to agree with Alex M., I see others on ladders, but don't see Mike on a ladder, how does he do that? Must be something like his shoes or maybe its in his blood?

Great job, another stunning layout for people to enjoy. Can't wait to see the next project.
