Bruce, Rick ; Thanks for your comments. Im a long time HO guy.and this is a nice small attic layout.I wish it was as big as my last layout but the attic doesn't give me the same space. I hope others put there roundhouse storage areas here to. This was not to be this big. with my limited space more industry and Stephensville was to be here. Now Stevensville has a little corner instead of what it should of had. Nice chating with you.

Is that fiber tie flex track? I think I still have a half a piece in a box of spare track box. Don't see that much any more.

Dave ; I got alot of the fiber tie, stapled track. It is the original Atlas flex track. I used it on all my turntable storage tracks, and train car servicing yard area. And if you notice it still looks new.

A look down at the complete Frankford Roundhouse area.

wow, great!
I used to use the fiber track years ago and I found it really easy to work with, although come criticized it absorbed moisture. I didn't find that.

* Strange looking locos parked here. Some British built locos assigned to the Frankford Branch. At this time two others, a pacific, and a decapod were working the mainlines. Also at least 8 more are coming.

A local railroad sends its engines to the Frankford Roundhouse for repairs. Here we see a locomotive from the Pennsylvania Great Western on the turntable.
