CSX Hanover Subdivision 3.0

Here's my silos dry fitted.  Some clean up but super stoked about them.  Elevators, ladders and such finishing up on the printer soon.

Home from work and more finished parts.

Glued up my silos this evening.  Sanded everything flat for a nice fit.  Have a couple spots to fill but look great.



Also continued on the loadout building.  Rix elevator and Gold Metal safety cage ladders

2 unicorns showed up in the mailbox today thanks to Central Jersey Conrail in N Scale.  Joe is back dating his layout by a few years and mentioned stripping and repainting cars instead of selling them.  I knew he had these two from watching his ops videos so I contacted him and offered him some trade fodder.



Now I can go to train shows with a blank shopping list

Working on a design can be hard for some, easy for others.  For me, it's been like trudging thru wet cement with concrete boots.  I've had the Lincoln yard, Zarfoss and Spring Grove parts for a little bit, added Porters Sideling today.  The south leg of the wye runs to the front wall and turns on the long wall, where I'd have Emory Grove somewhere along there, and it will dead end in the corner.  This will allow somewhere for the CSX Rock Runner to go from Bittinger in Hanover.

So one deck or two?

Looks like you're leaving enough space for the family room to be a family room.  Good thinking.

We have a family room upstairs, we're not that high up on the income scale to have 2.  Need more trains

Well, it's been crickets from anyone against the idea so benchwork started this week.



Just going to have to deal with a sideways shot.

Nice to see real dimensional lumber in use.

Hawt.

Filling a gap in N scale kit offerings, I see.

Yeah, some of this facility would be easy if Walthers scaled down some of their HO offerings but no 

Wish I had the time and talent to learn how to draw this stuff up, but thankfully I have good friends here at TRW that help me out with that.

Bridged the landing today



Across the landing, track level is knee high, so I'm already planning to add plexiglass across that area.  This will turn to the left on the other side of stairs (liftout to easily access the electric panel closet in the distance), and meet up with the south leg of the wye at Porters Sideling.  As it turns, I'm planning for a turnout to lead up to Suburban Propane

16 on center is flexible.  Also pre drill some 1 inch holes to run wiring.  Looking good
