Alexander,
I have been studying your “Fat City Terminal” layout for several months thanks to Google Translate. It is a very impressive layout and I am looking to following your progress here on your new layout.
Thanks for joining us.
Mark

Hello,
Electrical connection is ready and the Fat City Boat Yard is standing in the Homelayout Room...
The Boat Yard is standing on the Place from Fat City, Fat City is standing behind the Boatyard...
Opposite of Fat City comes the second Fiddleyard...
Regards
Alexander

Wow this is a great little set-up you have. I really find these layouts interesting that so much railroad can be modeleed, detailed and reach a real level of completion in a relativly short amount of time. I often think that these portable layouts end up being way better then a basement layout as they are usually completed and also can go with you if you have to move. I made the mistake of building a permanent shelf layout at my last house and as soon as the benchowkr was up it had to come down. I am now focusing again on modular design using Free-Mo and my goal is to actually complete something...
Keep up the great work and I look forward to more of your progress!!

That Walthers bridge is very difficult to find here in the states,and if you do find one it is very expensive.
