enginear joe Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I'm throwing stuff down just to get running this year. All will need to get done right later. I may regret it. I wish I had more land for these things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Miller Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 When I was a kid setting up my HO stuff in my bed or living room I would use anything like books pieces of wood that was available to level up my track. So you used bricks, 2X4's and rocks. Most important thing is to run trains. Next is to make it look nice.................Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got way too many, and many more on order? What's the bottom line for anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Looking around I noticed that one of my main bridge crossings is also perched up on blocks. I forgot to make that one permanent too! I wonder if I even had blocks when I was a kid????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benshell Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Looks like a great start! Blocks are great! I have some steel channel in place of bridges in some places too. The important thing is to get trains running. You can refine later. Keep the pictures coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'm working towards a double mainline that will go apart in some areas for interest. There's that lower track coming out of the shed in the pics above for parking trains.There will also be a loop coming out of the garage at work bench height to help my old man disease. I don't remember if I shared a photo of my new rail inspector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginear joe Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 I had a double mainline laid down this past year with sidings. I picked it all up for the winter reminded of how bad last Feb. was. What a mistake! This year has been mild. I'll have to do more grading and re-lay the track. I have about ten used switches and now have about six new ones coming. Maybe I'll do a new design then?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
