Just finished laying the track in this area.

Installed a few decoders but have been busy trying to train the latest addition to the household.

Here's the week's progress...


Time to start wiring... fan tracks first, then about 100 LED's.

Lee

That's turned out to be a real eye-catcher Lee . Have you thought about a removable corner sceniced shelf to abut with the layout at the turntable outer edge for enhanced photo ops . Could be an interesting article in the mags as well . Could be without tracks , just buildings , shacks , and details . It would add the reason why no aisle facing tracks come off the turntable as well . After the photo shoot it can be stored in a safe place , and you again have Lee way to move down the aisle . As far as the butt crack , could be a major pipe line being installed in a trench with a pipe actually hiding the crack / or over-lapping buildings , brush , and stuff / or even a siding with derelict locos . The list is endless but better to the eye if it is a logical continuation of something 100 feet from a turntable .

I'm trying to get my telephone poles and wires in place..



I also decided I need some staging for this layout.  so a small area added to the back, enough for 4-5 tracks. And I'll have to put loops on the end too..

[chuck geiger]

Lee one of the best looking engine terminals I've seen! Great work.

What kind of decoder does "that" take ?  ;D

Very realistic looking scene, the wires add nicely to the overall run down look
