Alot of nice photos I especially like some of the night shots!

Well I don't have anything amazing too add this week just more progress on my layout, I started laying cork (in my opinion, the worst and hardest part) on my layout so far 20% done about. Nice photos everyone by the way!

If you have $200 I would get a MRC Prodigy Express, It's a big step up from Bachman and only costs about $130 (Price Varies) it's a 1.5 amp system and it will give you more options and control features then the Bachman and is really easy to set up and use. Although the disadvantages are that...

I was about 8 or 9

Do you know what type of glue it was?

I have always used testors plastic cement.

I'll ponder the idea ;) Come to think of it they use a old team track near me for the same things.

I was thinking about adding a cut around the right side bend... There is a nice railfaning spot near me that cuts though a hill a bit. It's a great place to watch trains... There's a walking path bridge that goes over the NS mainline. and this is looking the other direction rate before...

I'm still thinking about a team track, but i'm trying too avoid the track overwhelming everything else, I, like you, don't want too overdue it on the track. I plan on adding some hills and giving it some character... It will be themed to be in the Pennsylvania area, and PA does have some...

yes, didn't even notice the typo...

Here's the updated version with the added track. As for the roads, I'm not entirely sure how they will be setup. What I put down is just a basic idea, but the overpass idea might work well.
