I am just starting to expand my layout. The next phase is a wye for reversing on the main line. I like to run combinations of cars and engines so the extra sidings will give me an opportunity for more operations. I plan on adding some "backwoods flats" to complete the scenery along the sidings against the wall. The outer tracks will have a tall trestle that will include a turnout on the trestle. The scenery will go all the way to the floor creating a gorge. This picture shows the track being test fit. After a trip to buy some lumber I will start the benchwork. I plan on adding pictures as I go. Check back!
Track plan being worked out.
Preliminary sketch of track layout. The length of the sidings is 8 feet. This sketch is not to scale.
1"x4" Benchwork completed
This shot also shows some of the mess created from the foam carving. I plan on bringing the rock cliff around from the gorge to the front of the layout.
