Another Possible idea for Free-moN?

[ednadolski]

A quick foamboard mockup of the first module. UP 8146 leads a NB manifest on the main line thru the Bealville grade grossing.   The turnout will have to be hand-built.

(I currently don't have anything to represent the grade crossing gates or control point signals.)

That was quick.  And you're not that far from being done!

I had the 'module' on hand, tho it needs to be made Free-moN conformant - basically, endplates/fascia/legs.  The standard requires Code 55 rail, so I have to update my 3D concrete ties (AFAIK, ME flex has been made of unobtainium for a while now).

Not yet sure what to do for the turnout -- just hand-build something (quicker to get working) or put together a 3D print (fully detailed).

Then a matter of scenery and detailing

Can't wait to see how those 3D printed ties look, I've been following your code 40 concrete tie thread and have been extremely impressed. You'll probably have a few guys run for their money with how detailed this module will be.
