Small Layout Started: 76" by 48"

Cool idea!  I'm interested to see it with the SuperStreets incorporated.

Had to make a layout change because SuperStreet's D16 Turnouts are not available.

I will add another FastTrack spur.

After receiving the FasTrack and SuperStreets that I had hoped would be needed for my small layout, I did a test fit.

Yesterday I laid a foundation of thin grey indoor/outdoor carpet on the plywood to deaden the sound of wheels running on track.

Today I put together what I hope will be the track and SuperStreets for my layout. The TrackMobile is on the SuperStreet and two freight cars are on the FasTrack (as you can see).

Next I need to remove the remotes from the switches that are Command Control and then perform a test run through all track and SuperStreets.

The "mainline" will accommodate Lionel's L&N 0-8-0 Legacy Steamer. The layout will primarily be for covered hopper operation. One of the five that I will purchase is resting on a spur. 

Buildings and scenery to follow...

Terry,

       How do you get the hopper out of that spur?

Gunny

Normally it wouldn't be left there. But I could pull it back onto the "mainline" with any loco. 

Typically, I will have the TrackMobile pull the hopper into the spur you see it in now and back it back into the long spur.

The TrackMobile has complete freedom within the track and street to get anywhere on the layout. 

The TrackMobile is ideal for a small layout. 

TM Terry ,-  What a nice layout for a small space like a spare bedroon, etc. Nice going. Have fun with it!

Nice idea.  I like how you incorperated the superstreets with the Fastrack.
