BIG CHANGES / a rebuild of an area for disability

[Lester Perry]

I am feeling good about this now, I was a little fearful about this at first. Now I am seeing it all come together. First I am going to take you on an east bound trip to my Baltimore / Newport news hidden yard.
I will start at coming off of the main line on the top part of the layout. This photo you can see a switch going off the the right.


After clearing the switch it is a wide sweeping curve to the right.


Now a straight shot of about 14 feet. all of this going down hill. As we go along this grade we come to the town of Noname.




Then another right turn.


I know the track has a wiggle in it. I might fix it and might not. It goes under some control Panels and under the edge of upper / main layout. I mean the edge.


Here you can see what I mean by the edge. You can also see a track to the left. That is going the opposite direction to Russell KY.


Now the two tracks come together to cross the door.


In this photo you can see the door and about 1/2 of the track we have covered so far.


Now after crossing the door. The tracks split again, one continuing up and the other continuing down.


Now I will go to a couple of aerial shots The track we are following is on the outside. It will cross back under the inside as you will see in second photo.



It then makes a straight shot of about 4 feet. starts a turn to the left and the track going to Gern comes in on the right.



Now it splits again the left goes to Balt. / Newport news hidden yard. Th right goes to Crooked Creek, which is a mine run.
