Layouts

[rogruth]

I asked in the Club Car about who had layouts etc.
If any of the 2 R modelers would like to answer, it would be appreciated.

Thanks for asking Roger, it's 13" x 50" double track folded dog bone, with the some sidings. It's one of my retirement goals to get all the switches and track fully serviceable beyond just the two mains, then overhead catenary, then scenery.
For now it's just "trackworld" and I'm fortunate to have it as I do work on a lot of rolling stock, kits, repair locomotives etc.
and while I do enjoy running trains on it, it's also a decent test track.

The kids like it too.

[rogruth]

I don't care if there is scenery. you are running trains.
Thanks for your response.

Man. My dream is a four track dog bone - 50" wouldn't quite do it, but 14'x 50' would. I need 14' to make sure I have a 74" outer loop for the 4-12-2 and the SP articulated chair car.

I now have a four track two level oval in 14x26 feet. It usually works, but is down for skylight repair. Photos later.

Some answer from Roger's other inquiry:

My layout (smaller than Roger's space) is effectively complete, albeit there are additional details that will get added. And, I have two extra lift-outs that I will eventually complete.

Collect, no. Accumulate; used to. Selling and clearing off a lot of the excess now other than those details I need to complete construction projects.

Roger my layout was featured in Dan Dawdy's O Scale Resource Magazine in the Nov/Dec 2017.

This link should take you there.

It also happens to be featured on the cover of the current O scale Trains Magazine if your interested.

Bob,

"I now have a four track two level oval in 14x26 feet. It usually works, but is down for skylight repair. Photos later."

How far out from the walls on the tangents (straights)?

[bob turner]

Right up against the wall. Real estate ain't cheap in SoCal.

Robert,
WOW! Two cover photos in a row on OST. Very impressive.
I just got#105 this afternoon and have not read it yet,

Where is the very realistic figure used in this cover photo from?

[Robert]

Roger the figure is from a company called "Artista". I like figures and this company makes the nicest ones in my opinion. The second cover in a row surprised me as well...perhaps it's time to buy a lottery ticket...
