Re: The Nomad Valley under construction - Steamtrains - 04-01-2009
That's coming along nicely.
Wish I had thought of doing preliminary wiring before "burying" access from topside. Will keep that in mind for the next section to be built...
Looks like you've coulda' "squeezed" some extra real estate from the wife....

That brilliant idea came from Galen ( Ocalicreek ). I squeezed all I could, and even bought flowers. That's all I got :cry:

Thanks Stein. If I had my way, the car wouldn't be in there. Of course then it would be crowded with railroad

Looks good so far.
Lot better than what I have so far.
Re: The Nomad Valley under construction - nomad - 04-01-2009
Thanks Eightyeight. Keep trying. It's taken me 4 years to get this far.

And here I thought I was doing bad, almost 5 years, but I just finished the track and wiring.
Re: The Nomad Valley under construction - nomad - 04-02-2009
I guess I am one of the lucky ones then :?:
This is my fifth layout in 4 years
. But, during that time I found out there is more to railroading then a loop. Right now I am perfectly happy with a point to point or out and back design, but that is not saying I might not change my mind later and want a loop. Of course, if i rebuild this layout, my wife will freak. One of the things she said when this started was :hey: " You better not tear this one up ".Loren

Paneling!
Well, duh! Why didn't I think of that? Nice solution to a dusty problem. Galen

Re: The Nomad Valley under construction - nomad - 04-05-2009
Not to much to show right now. The table tops are sanded and painted. The yard turnouts templates ( Thanks Fast tracks ! ) are laid out. Now to glue the templates down and I can start laying ties.

Looking good....Is the whole layout going to be handlaid..??
Re: The Nomad Valley under construction - nomad - 04-05-2009
No Gus. I will use flex for the most part, but I do make my own turnouts.
