Some construction photos are followed by a layout tour where we follow a 60 car train while it makes a complete circuit of the layout. Note that "Oregon Electric" signals should have been "Oregon Rail Supply". Layout website has more construction photos, articles, and a track plan:

I am at a loss to describe genius, old school knowledge, and what the next young generation can build with their own hands if they just put down a phone!! Awesome work Bill !!! I love every idea you came up with..Pure enjoyment to watch...

Whoever disliked this...??? I don't get peoples' minds. I think this layout is really great work!

This is such a unique layout!! One of the coolest I've ever seen :) Wow... thanks for making this high quality video. The middle part with the bridges and different elevations of track, absolutely stunning. And so many viewing angles!! I've watched A LOT of layout videos and this is one of my favorites.

this by far is one of the top contenders for layout of the year and I might add is on the wish list of every model train fan, yes! I count myself in on that, I wish it were mine

I love the peninsula and the way the train climbs back and forth on it's way to the upper level. I suspect John Allen had quite an influence on your design. If only my mountain layout would look so convincing.

@billr991 9 жыл бұрын

Thanks Dennis. Actually, I'm not familiar with that aspect of John Allen's work. The design came about because I wanted to include a long steady climb requiring helpers in the layout.

I live about 100 miles east of Canada's Rocky Mountains and as a result, mountain railroading has always been my location of choice. The way you captured the feel of a mountain railroad is amazing Bill. I don't suppose you have a track diagram that you would be willing to post?

Brilliantly done, Bill. Very tastefully done. It seems larger layouts (and smaller ones too) can end up being so busy and cluttered. Those layouts end up being overwhelming. Your layout has achieved the ultimate balance of operation and landscape, with a very organic feel. This train room also reiterates the importance of cleanly done facia, walls, ceiling, and lighting. Thanks for sharing! Noah

Thanks Ed. When I converted my layout from DC to DCC (several years ago) I used Digitrax non-sound decoders. Subsequently I have purchased a number of sound equipped locomotives that came with a variety of decoders. Currently, I use SoundTraxx Tsunami decoders to convert silent DCC locomotives to sound.
