Other than an occasional temporary floor layout, the only one I only finished was a 4x8 Super O layout based on the 2 loop Super O plan D223. My most current layout started in2011.....and, it's not finished! I know, I know, a layout is never truly finished.....But, I do want to get to the point where I don't have a list of things that need completion.
Part of the problem is that once you start running trains, it's what you want to do ...instead of finishing the projects that need to be done....
I am on a mission to see what I can accomplish in 2018.
Here is the layout starting in 2011:
Some of my colleagues in the River City 3 Railers are helping me.....
I have made lots of progress. The wiring of switches and accessories has taken a long time. It didn't help that I did something wrong with the power and burnt out 20+ Atlas switch motors and has to replace them all with D-1000s.
Here are some pics I took this weekend. The layout is 6x16, with 3 levels: a 6x8 lower level subway. A 6x16 2 loop main middle level. A 2x16 upper level dedicated to engine servicing.
I'm sure that I'm not the only one here with an "almost finished, but not quite done" layout.
