I've had much fun with my Silver Valley RR. But there was one problem. With modules you have problems to get any grades. So I came to the idea to build a permanent layout in this room. It was the pdf-file from an article from the late John Armstrong in MR Jan 1962, "To Hardscrabble, the hard way: a track plan". There he describes the PUEBLO & SALT LAKE RR in a 11 x 12-foot room.

Here's my idea for my 13' x 16' room.
This is the lower part with the staging yard. You see a lot of dual gauge track and turnouts.



And the part with the narrow gauge line to the second level.



But for the first time I will incorporate a few of my modules. You see Salina and Fiddletown at the second level. This way I can operate the layout and do some scenery.



And this is the room with backdrop and the first parts of benchwork.

We'll miss you Wolfgang!

Lovin it! How about some over all progress shots?!

Looks great!
Wolfgang Posted - 05/17/2012 : 05:05:07 AM
And the next video.

Goose No 7 meets freight No 315 at Esperanza with helper service for the 3% grade to Salina.

Looking great Wolfgang!

Today I've tested the crossing and made a video.

Wolfgang, Very nice. Little blue engine a test engine from the grandchild? My grand-daughter used to run trains on a prior layout. It was DC with block control. At the time she was four years old and had no problem figuring out what to do. She did have a favorite conductor figure that had to ride the back platform of the caboose on the freight... ALWAYS.

Action at Esperanza.



There're still some dead spots. I have to power the a few frogs.

My Tam Valley Hexfrogjuicer powers two frogs of the crossings without problems. You couldn't hear it. The engines run with sound over the crossing.

At one spot I had to rework one frog of the crossing. The flangeway was a little bit too wide.

Wolfgang Posted - 05/01/2012 : 05:15:07 AM
Yes, it was a success.

I need to power the Tortoise. One or two points do not touch the outer rails, this can give derailments.
And at one frog (at 2:50) I will have to rework a little bit.

And I need a longer track section for the reversing track. The train should not be longer than the reversing section!
BTW, I use the Tam Valley Hexfrogjuicer.

Congratulations on your first run of your test train.
Was the test a success?
Wolfgang Posted - 04/30/2012 : 11:04:43 AM
The track gang was busy and arrived at Esperanza.



And I run a first test train:



... and the video to the test train!

Now I've installed the first Tortoise and BluePoint. But I replaced the 0.8mm wire with a thicker one, 1.0mm. This way I get more force to the throw bar.

Great start on the layout Wolfgang. Your son did a good job on the bench work too. I like the way you modified the track plan. It's going to fit the room size nicely. I'll be watching your progress with interest. Thanks for posting!!

You guys are making great progress. Your switches are so very nice.
