CSX Hanover Subdivision 3.0

I like this organic design, reminds me of Lance Mindhiem's approach in the way it is laid out.

Why the alternation between foam and hardboard substrate?  Scenery considerations?

Are you talking between the green and the brown ?  Brown is just recycled foam from the last layout that's already been painted

Ah, gotcha.  Carry on, this is pretty cool to follow.

Mocked up Center St though it's probably getting moved around the turn back, and other side of wall that will run lengthwise,  that will be built later, think I can get another foot out of the yard over on other side

I stopped by Adam's today as part of the Mainline Hobby open house tours .. put 200 miles on the car.   The layout is very impressive for only having less than a year of work in it.  Smooth running models.  The Glyndon station is right inside the door as you come in. It really catches your eye ..

Lee's yard is wired and working and has new ballast ..

There is a lot of space to move around the fully finished space .. well done ..

Well another open house has concluded and for the first year of the new layout, everything operated very well.  A few turnouts need adjusted and I need to tinker around with the AR sensitivity at Porters, some locos run thru with no problems, others trip briefly at the gap.  95 signed my visitors book, so adding in a few that don't sign books I'd say I had over 100 visitors over the weekend.  Now time to pack up most of the cars and locomotives again and start back on construction of Phase 2 in preparation of next years open house.
