Cool! Yeah please do share more [Only mods are allowed to see this link] of your [Only mods are allowed to see this link] .
Re: Train sets!
OK, that's one vote for more pics, but there's got to be more consensus. I should have mentioned this earlier, but if you guys can think of a good twitter account name, please feel free to let myself or TTfan know. And lastly, if a GoFundMe.com account is made for the layout, who of all of you would be interested in donating?

Re: Train sets!
yeah, an there's another drop bridge in the works, but that's on the "back shelf" until we get the helix
and reverse loop rig in place for the upper section.

Ah cool! When is the [Only mods are allowed to see this link] and [Only mods are allowed to see this link] being built?
Re: Train sets!
the lower reverse loop is nearly complete, so we have to complete that, then add in the upper
level's reverse loop, then the helix i think, still looking into the kill switch and how to to make that
section a layout into a separate power block to isolate it from the rest of the layout.

Very cool!
Re: Train sets!
well it makes sense to isolate the bridge block from the rest of the layout, because it would work better that way, but i have my doubts it will happen for a while

Why won't it happen for awhile?
Re: Train sets!
just not enough priority on it to get done, so it has to wait

What is 'priority' then?
Re: Train sets!
it's just how things go for some stupid reason, the high priority jobs get done first, and the low priority ones get left to wait

No no, that makes sense and is smart, I just meant what is top prority currently?
Re: Train sets!
right now, it's transferring the roadbed, tracks, and power from the old bridge deck to the new one because the bridge is useless for the trains without them. still working on the pic of the old bridged deck to show how much it has warped

Re: Train sets!
Yes that does sound like it belongs top priority. Hope [Only mods are allowed to see this link] contiunes smoothly and steadily.1mtvfan wrote:right now, it's transferring the roadbed, tracks, and power from the old bridge deck to the new one because the bridge is useless for the trains without them. still working on the pic of the old bridged deck to show how much it has warped
Re: Train sets!
well yes, but even if it's not a priority, i will keep working on a way to install a kill switch and isolate the bridge block as i call it from the rest of the layout.
