Yeah, I can see them now in your last post. Awesome train!
The prototype certainly was!
Frank, I seem to recall from another post that the layout is 60x30... What the minimum radius and control system?
Santiago, the studio shots of the washer are fabulous, can't wait to see it on a layout!
Q power rocks!

Hi Jay,
The dimensions of the Rockford O Scalers layout are roughly as you state in your message. The layout consists of two double track loops. The inner (which originally was a portable modular layout) uses standard DC control with blocks. The outer double track loop features DCC operation (with NCE wireless throttles) and was constructed later, after the inner layout was in place. There currently is no connection between the two loops, although there once was. The minimum radius on the inner loop tracks are 88” and 92” as are the outer loop tracks in the crawl space that it runs through. On the end of the outer loop opposite the crawl space, the radius is much larger, somewhere around 132”. A track diagram is attached below. Visitors are welcome anytime. Regards,
Frank McCabe

On a sunny afternoon in 1948, the Expo races west through suburban Illinois with silver F3s 9960ABC on the point. Models by PSC, Atlas and 3rd Rail.

OUTSTANDING. Looks like it was taken at the Naperville curve.

Thanks, Bryce! I’m making these clips for a YouTube channel specializing in model trains…. I’ll make sure to share it when it’s done! Just a few more trains to shoot 😊
