Someone found a good use for old VHS!! Looks like fun!

Actually they are dvd's but they are almost as useless these days with online streaming...

Picked up a Lionel Legacy Vision NS Genset, 2 Atlas Pratt Truss Bridges and the Atlas Roundhouse (Still have to put it together) yesterday!

Track plan and running pattern is very nice. Do you plan on sealing and painting the concrete wall before you go any further?

Must have been wishful thinking!!!! I've already given $1000's worth of VHS to the library....still have more.

DMASSO,

I have been in the house for four years, been through some pretty big storms, no water issues... The basement is unfinished, I will prob just get some backdrops and attach them to masonite and liquid nail them to the walls.

Got a little of the woodwork for the elevations around the yard done this weekend...

Still have a little tweeking to do.

Gromet

very impressive looks like a fun layout to run and scenic

Nice! I like the twin bridges. Looks like you have fastrack. Did you use it on the bridges? If not how did you connect fastrack to the bridges' tracks. I like the graded curve leading up to the bridge. 

luvtrains,

 

The bridges are Atlas O Pratt Truss Bridges. They come with Atlas track installed in the brodge deck.  I just used a FasTrack TRansition piece (Transitions from FasTrack to tubular) then on the ends of the Atlas bridges you attach Atlas Tubular Transition Clips and just slide the into the Tubular FasTrack Piece.

 

Here is a more current Video with the Elevation work finished.

Gromet enjoyed the video hope to see more as you progress  Vince

Hi Gromet any update on your Layout??

Also can you tell me what track spacing you have @ the two single bridges I love how they look setup like that I would like to see if i can do the same....

Thanks Mike

It's looking good but as Don said I certainly would do something about the basement walls. Will you be able to get at them later?

I got to be honest..there is just something that kicks A@@ about two trains running in tandem side by side at the same speed!Nice track plan.Nick

Gromet;

Coming along nicely, Love the Redneck engineering in the first video.

Get Er Done. 

 

Nick:

I agree, Adds to my determination to double the mainline on the new Layout.

My Goodness do I need a lot more track !

Cases on hand, Cases on order but I think I'll still be short.

Track plan still in flux but I really like what Gromet has done.

Food for thought.

Russell,would love to see a few pics.Nick
