Very nice update, Kyle. Nice to see your bench work for the layout. I’m also using Bachmann tracks. Would be nice if Bachmann can create a yard ladder to where it can squeeze more lines in. Are your engines all Scale trains?
@kylestevens69252 күн бұрын
Thanks Drew, yes it would be awesome if bachmann would come out with different verity of track, but they also appear to a smaller audience. The two B&O painted units are scaletrains and all of the Chessie painted units are Atheran Genesis.

the footprint looks very similar to my old one, 7x9? I am building a 4x8 furniture grade layout right now, custom table, sanded, stained, varnished, with the layout as a recessed insert. When some better space opens up (I clean out more of my family's junk lol) I plan on doing an around the room shelf-style layout with a point to point configuration that has a hidden staging yard behind the backdrop for continuous running.

@@Rebecca_The_Dragon quite honestly I’m not sure on the dimensions of the layout. I would love to take over more of space, but the family restricted me on what I can have. Thanks for watching!

Looking good Kyle. Runs smooth. Do you need any more Bachmann track I found a box. There are 18" curves, straight, short straight, some turnouts and some track elevation piers. Let me know and I'll send it to you.

Definitely will if needed, thank you for that. I think I’ll use atlas for switches and flex track to create yards and industrial tracks. I’ll see what I can do though. Thanks for watching!

Late 70s - early 80s, so basically 1977-late 1981. Most of the consist will probably be EMD units considering that’s what I mostly remember seeing on the B&O in my area. Need to find a crane for that work train someday. Thanks for watching!
