Layout Showcase / Re: Operations Session 03-09-2017

;D :biggrin:
Looks big. The layout is only 5m X 8m excluding the wall shelf around the back. Total room with lounge is 5m X 12m. With hindsight, I could have done a little bit bigger LOL  :rant:

IT IS HUGE, never-mind big...been there remember!

40m square...

I think you have also used the area well with the crew lounge on the door side. Love it! :thumb:

LOL Ed. However, even a 6m X 6m garage comes in at 36m square  :biggrin:

I must agree also with the crew lounge and the shelf layout round to Sweetgrass. The nice thing there is that it is like a timesaver and also completely isolated from any main line. So I put newbies who are interested in switching there. They can take their time, or the whole session if they want to switching cars without the pressure of being somewhere on the mainline with a dispatcher shouting at them or getting out the way of passing trains.

Cheers boet  ;)

Wow! Stunning!

A question, the tunnel portals at 8:05 and 8:10 (either side of the mountain) - home made?

Laser cut by Niel (Freightcars). He does a lot of laser cutting for modelers. The digitrax boxes on the facia as well as the switch panel fascias also laser cut by Niel :-)

Also does radius templates, locomotive maintenance cradles and and and.

Seriously, it was amazing. Even the wife enjoyed it.
