Tinplate elevated track pictures/ideas | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hi All,

With my new layout I'm going to have my passenger trains running on an elevated platform, actually 3 platforms with tracks connecting them. I'm wondering if anyone out there has an elevated track on a tinplate layout to give me a few ideas on this. I have a pretty good idea in my head of what I want to do but getting suggestions from the group is always helpful.

Thanks,

Sam

Here is how I decided to work it.

Elevated Platform

Designed in conjunction with the Trainworks folks... they are awesome to deal with.

Hi Rob,

This is exactly what I'm looking for. I tried to search Trainworks but got a few different companies, do you have any contact info for them?

Thanks,

Sam
