Good afternoon everyone!
It's been a while since I was last one here, you all gave me some great ideas on my Lionel 027 Pacific Electric tribute layout I made back in 2019. I acquired an MTH Pacific Electric PCC car, K-Line Blimp set and custom made blimp from M. Mitchell Marmel, but unfortunately had to sell all of them (along with some of my other train stuff) when some pressing maintenance issues on our house came up.
Fast forward to the present, me and my wife are expecting twins and are moving into a bigger house with a hobby room...a perfect combination to finally bring the 027 layout to life once again!
I redesigned the layout utilizing the 027 track I already have along with my 1022 manual switches, and I decided to make it a loop with sidings so our kids (when they are of age) can enjoy running trains continuously. I'm still playing around with the sidings and whether or not I want to use my 1022's to create a passing track.
As before, I'll be using the 520 Boxcab, 60 Trolley, the small industrial switchers and another PCC car as motive power. I also have a set of Marx E-7 trucks to build a PE Blimp replica, just need to figure out how. I'll also be adding operating accessories and UCS tracks as to keep things fun.
I look forward to posting my progress!
