laying track: again!

[enginear joe]

I'm too old for this. I may have to think about leaving it down. It took me four times longer to lay it out this year and I'm still not done. Elmore said I don't have enough switches or sidings so I added more. I don't get it as one siding going to the shed is over 100' long and has several tracks inside the shed (6 total).

That must be quite a task!  Layout does look good

[enginear joe]

Thanks Ray! It does take more work than I'd like. It's funny that I can take all the track up in one day no problem. It's getting it back down, level and connected while crawling around that gets me!

I'm trying different types of ballast + concrete mixtures. Maybe I can get it more permanent??

Looking good!

Nice job. Don't think I could do ground level anymore though!

Here's the power backing out of the shed at bench height:

Hope to run a train soon! I had to run out.

Nice work Joe! Take any video?

[enginear joe]

Not yet this year. I will try again soon. I have many videos on my utube channel. I have posted most of them here on the forum.

Thanks for the link! Awesome video and always fun seeing the youth enjoying this fun hobby. My grandkids enjoy it, but sadly not as much as their tablets and gaming systems...
