Re: Carbon Corner shelf layout - MrBill - 11-22-2012 Been a while. Layout is still active though. Taking it on the road today to entertain my young nephews with after supper. Finally got the rails re-worked on the bumper and it's all glued down now. Happy holidays all. Re: Carbon Corner shelf layout - mountaingoatgreg - 11-22-2012 Looks great!! Have a great Thanksgiving!! and I hope your nephew has a good time. Re: Carbon Corner shelf layout - e-paw - 11-22-2012 I like how you did the bumper,,, I may have to barrow the idea for my layout. Re: Carbon Corner shelf layout - MrBill - 09-02-2013 Decided to connect both current layouts. Makes for a more interesting ISL. Re: Carbon Corner shelf layout - MrBill - 12-08-2013 Did some track re-alignment on the brewer yard end. Re: Carbon Corner shelf layout - Mr Fixit - 12-08-2013 Re; the track re-alignment. Was this done before or after joining the brewers for a sampling of some brewskis? Mark Re: Carbon Corner shelf layout - MrBill - 12-08-2013 Well, I probably got the idea and nerve from some liquid encouragement, but saved the cutting for later. "Brewer Yard" was my first attempt at an ISL, based on a timesaver plan, which wasn't looking very realistic after it got running so I took out some switches, and reasoned that it would represent a prototype re-alignment. But the resulting S turn, didn't look right either, even when running shorter cars and locos. Since I have a good bit of time invested in this rig, especially on the retaining wall, I plan to squeeze as much life out of it as possible. Plus I've been encouraged greatly by our brother Reinhard, and his never ending Freelance saga. Here's a before shot for comparison.

Re: Carbon Corner shelf layout - MrBill - 06-19-2014 Regular Operations have commenced. Re: Carbon Corner shelf layout - MrBill - 05-03-2016 After a move and lenghthy hiatus, my trusty layout here soldiers on. Got the center 2 yard tracks re-glued down, and got the coal yard bridge piers put together. They're hand embossed balsa with carved adhesive on the ends. I work it as it dries...
