Conrail in New England

[James Costello]

Realistically, the setting could be anywhere...throw some palm trees in there and it could be Cali with some Metrolink / Caltrains action or even be a future home for those Metra commutes....

Nice work guys.

Well....I have found a house that I am moving into Aug 1...that has a sizable basement... Sooooo Dave, I may be able to add an additional 6-8' to this puppy!

Expand existing, or start over? Either one is OK by me.

Well seeing how I haven't started on the one you drew, either is fine by me!

[DKS]

All righty then. I'll start scribbling.

Ian,

Did you salvage any of the sceniced areas from the previous layout for use in the next one?

[DKS]

So Ian, what is the actual total length available for the layout?

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Ian, you might want to take a look at the Ken McCory visit thread.

[Ian MacMillan]

So Ian, what is the actual total length available for the layout?

I believe it is 20'

Ian,

Did you salvage any of the sceniced areas from the previous layout for use in the next one?

No because they do not fit the theme of the the new "show" modular layout or the planned eventual home layout in any form.

Ian, you might want to take a look at the Ken McCory visit thread.

I knew he was changing eras...but what's that have to do with this?

Yeah but its no where close to what I'm looking for...you can't run long trains on that!

That's exactly three doors, end to end. So, are you building benchwork, or are you interested in using doors? If doors, what width?

[Ian MacMillan]

That's exactly three doors, end to end. So, are you building benchwork, or are you interested in using doors? If doors, what width?

No doors for stability, so it is traditional benchwork. Same requirements apply that were used in the "smaller" plans such as 30" wide, etc.
