You're right, except now I am hampered by cooler weather. I would like to take the whole layout outside to avoid paint fumes in the house (I have a ten-month old daughter). So, I might as well do the wiring first. Did I mention that I like to procrastinate when to comes to ballasting? Thanks for the great tip, though. Maybe I could consider doing a small section at a time to limit the fumes. Hmm...DFF
Skewing the testle was a great idea!
Thanks, guys! I really appreciate your compliments.An extension is planned. Not sure how I'm going to lay it out yet, but I hope to use a 24" wide HCD coming off the layout perpendicularly at that corner to allow staging for both the A&R and the SBD. What I haven't figured out yet is whether I will attempt to connect the roads with one staging yard (the grade might be a problem if these lines connect) or keep them separate and have two staging yards. If separate, I might just do a simple three-track double ended yard for the A&R (and perhaps add another industry). I want a return loop on the SBD's staging yard and could probably get away with stub yard tracks, as long as there is a run-around for the power to escape and switch the yard.DFF
