Santa Fe Hazmat train hits the rails at Timdude's Rusty Spike!

Beautiful long train!

I have to ask, who makes that LS NYC steamer?

Looooong train.  Who imported the mikes?  Unless I counted the wheels on the engines wrong.

Keep the photos coming.  Thanks for sharing.

Merry Christmas.

Mighty nice, I must say.  Green with envy.

Please explain the track arrangement - I don't understand 4 rails on same ties.  

Thanks,  Harmon

Still don't get it.

Anxiously await the explanation.

Harmon,

This layout utilizes Gargrave multi gauge track. The center track that Erik is running on is standard Gargraves Phantom line track. The inside track is a combination O with a fourth rail to the outside that is gauged for S gauge. The outside track is 5 rail with a common center rail and a set of O and a set of Standard Gauge rails which allows you to run both gauges on the same track.

I forgot to mention it is wired for either 2 rail or 3 rail operation which is what allows Erik to run 2 rail trains on this track. It is a little sloppy and some of the higher end stuff shorts out from time to time but for the most part it runs fine. The curves on the center line is 12 foot diameter and there is a mild .8% climb and a 1.8% decent in the direction Erik was running. I am planning to install a 2 rail O and On3 track next for the high end stuff that doesn't like the Gargraves.
