This will be an on going documentaion for my new layout. I took down the old layout in jan 2014 and spent quite a bit of time designing the new layout plan. With my past layout I learned alot about what I liked and this newest layout has alot of the old layouts. The new layout has more space from a adjacent room to give added train running. It is a loop to loop with each loop having automation so when a train comes upto a closed turnout it will automaticly open. I'm also attemping to have switching opportunity's. I'm using a digitrax super chief, peco turnouts with tortoise motors controlled by ds64 stationary decoders. The benchwork is open grid type. One thing I did want was the benchwork to be higher so I raised it to be 50 inch at grid level.
You can see the plan posted here is pretty much accurate but is also only a suggestion for industry spurs as these can easy be added as I go.

I won't bore you's with the disassembly of the old layout, what a mess that was.I had taken pics of the new benchwork laid out in the old room.

The benchwork is put up and old mountains put in place, the mountains will be raised higher as I go.
