Just a few pics of progress..well some anyway

Chris,

 

The mess is excused.That is looking really good, everything has this nice flow to it and I like that large radius that your using. What radius is that curve? Keep up the nice work and certainly keep us posted!

 

Travis

Chris That looks great thanks for the post. You have some top flight work going on there!

Looking good Chris.

 

Something to be proud of there.Gonna be great.

Thank you very much guys, progress will pick up now that ***** break is done with and the kids are busy. 

 

Travis the radius is 65"-66" on this end, the other will be 70"-72" approximately.

Going to be really good.  And with all the great people here to help if you hit a wall I know that the layout will be fantastic.  Can't wait to see more progress.

Looking good Chris. I know about the time thing with kids.

This obviously isn't 3 rail O gauge. Is it 2 raiil, ON30? What gauge are we looking at?

Nice work....love it! Tom in PGH

Chris, that looks like a really great start of good things to come!  Looks like you are very well organized too.   A place for everything and everything in its place.   Have a nice weekend.

 

Ken

It is two rail standard gauge.

Chris, looking great.  I know about the time thing with kids and life, I haven't touched my layout in over 4 months!  Life has its priorities doesn't it?

 

See ya in Chicago!

Thanks so much everyone.

 

ogaugeguy....what Ken said...

 

Thanks Ken in Nebraska...yeah I am fortunate to have great organizational skills...

 

Thank you Tom.

 

Ken and Patrick, yeah the time with them is #1 for me..they grow up so fast.  Now school is open again and I have time when I get up before they get home.  I had to re work a few places for alignment reasons...coming out of a switch...ect.  But I have those corrected and now I am back at it.  Yeah it had been about 2 months for me, but there are only so many hours in the day.

 

Again thanks for the compliments everyone I appreciate them.  More to come fairly shortly.

 

Chris,

 

Thanks for your response. Looks like you'll be able to run just about any loco you want on those radiuses, which is a good thing. Nice!

 

Travis

I'm always amazed by "you guys" that hand lay your track. I wish I had 1/100 of your patience. Very nice work Chris, I'm looking forward to when your running trains over it in the future!

Chris, Looking good. Yhanks for posting.

Like it!

CWEX, Like I, track running a few inches from the outside wall. What images have you thought of to add scenery to the inches and wall as it is your mainline.

 

Phil

Hi Travis, yes it will allow for a fairly good selection, I am modeling the the N&W with a dash of the NKP....I gotta have a Berk or 2....

 

Thanks Rick, I just work on a foot or two each night and then walk away. 

 

Thank you Popsrr and LLKJR. 

 

Hi Phill,  a good portion of it will be thick brush and trees/schrubs ect.  Some hills, I haven't figured it all out yet, but I will.  ....I hope.  What did you do or are going to do?

Wow, great job. You are moving right along.

Awesome! really taking shape here, great job  

also no mess, no fun.

Thats what I tell myself, mess=progress...

 

Thanks Dan...tryin' anyway.

Looking GREAT Chris! I just started staining my ties using the same technique you demonstrated...they look amazing! Thank you for your updates and how to's!

Hey thanks Will.  I am glad to hear you are happy with the techniques and that you are enjoying your build.  Please keep us updated with pics and vids...I love what your doing on your layout.

Your track work is looking very good, Chris and I can't wait to see more imagery as this area progresses.

 

Thanks!

 

John

Thank you John, I finished up all of the tracks in the first photo today.  Now I just need to finish up the wiring for that area.

Smoothly flowing track work!  Very well done.
