The whole scene is looking great, Ken! So are the trains!
Replaced MTH silver arch bridge over the river with a Lionel Rockville viaduct. Also got the inner loop running over the weekend. May do a wiring video if you're interested. Need to buy Atlas insulated rail joiners so I can separate inner from outer loop.
Ken, the new bridge looks great on your layout already! It is a great improvement not blocking the view beyond. I think everyone would be interested in seeing your approach to wiring your layout.
Awesome! You def have an eye for making a good scene, your backdrop is perfect.
Keep going
A new bridge deserves a new engine. Found another good deal on a PS3 version of an engine I already have. Although non-prototypical to my layout locations I'll make an acception for the Blue Comet since I got my first one before I built my first layout.
Ken, that was an enjoyable video - and applicable use of the Lionel Rockville Bridge. I have one still in the box and awaiting retrofitting somewhere. When I got mine, I noted that it doesn't come with mortar lines as shown on the box and catalog; I can mortar brick buildings fairly straightforwardly using Robert's brick mortar mix, however I don't know if the "brush on, dry, and wipe-off" method would work on the bridge or not, given the myriad crevices. Nevertheless, it's a very neat bridge and our hobby can use more neat accessories in that historical tradition. I really like how you raised your bridge, gives me ideas on using mine.
Short video of trains running on now completed inner and outer loops. Testing clearances, had to raise grade separated mainline crossing at back of room to clear husky stacks. Will have to add some space between O72 and O81 curves on extension to clear articulated overhangs. Added plastic rail joiners between loops and now each loop is powered by each of the 2 channels on my Z400 transformer. Really loving long runs with extension and can comfortably handle 4 trains simultaneously. Head is on a swivel though ;-).
Ken, nice trains! It’s good to see trains running on both tracks.
Awesome! Very cool layout. I like the Blue Comet in action, those blue spoked drivers are fun to watch. Keep going!
Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I'm working out a mixup with my OGR account. In the meanwhile, enjoy my latest review:
Ken, the C&O H7 is a beautiful engine, runs great, sounds great! You really enhanced your already wonderful roster with that one! It looks really great running on your layout as well!!
