After nearly 9 years up in my basement, I have dismantled my layout. I have bought a new home and I am selling the one I have. A new layout will be put together in the new home using most of my old layout. There will be a lot or work to do to get it up and running as the new layout will not take up the entire basement. It will exist in a "L" shaped train room. I have packed up all my trains and removed all the benchwork legs. I am looking at finding temporary storage for the trains and dismantled benchwork.
When I get up and running again I will initially run a 2 track subway capable of running 2 trains simultaneously. Currently my old layout, regardless of the size, could only run a single train as it was effectively one large loop. Further plans will then include a 3 track elevated to run over the subway. I have built 91 inches of elevated structure already. That will mean 5 trains running at one time!
Highlights of the new layout include connecting the subway to the elevated via a ramp, having the express track of the elevated run over the local track for a 2 tier elevated structure (double EL), and moving the train yard to the center of the layout.
