Hell yes.  The blank slate.  Perhaps my favorite part.

Hopefully you have enough track and roadbed on hand to make magic happen while the adrenaline is still pumping!

Yes!  I enjoyed discussing your plans at Perryville last night.  The blank slate is always exciting.  Have fun!

Almost appears as though the door came pre-printed with a topographical map of the area you're modeling.

Thanks! Your layout and experience is largely to thank for my decision to pull the trigger today.

Haha, probably not, but I guess I better stock up before the 29th...

I see three HCDs.  I've never seen a triple deck HCD layout before, where's the helix gonna go?  :trollface:

There's a prototype for everything.
If you can't make it perfect, make it adjustable.
DCC is not plug-n-play.

Kudos to you, @Ed Kapuscinski for sticking to your guns, even after much ribbing and such from others (myself included). And I'll agree, the "blank slate" stage is the most exciting. Two questions. How will you be holding the doors up? Also, how high will they be off the floor?

I'm gonna reuse the chains that were hiding up above the drop ceiling. Don't know what they were from before but they end up about waist high.

Nice... Those scenes have always caught my eye, lots of modeling opportunity there...

Hmmmm... Should be strong enough to support a person leaning on the layout...  :trollface:

So when you're not running trains, you can use it as a Polynesian sex swing!
