    Zack's Layout Version 3.0

    I originally built a switching layout last year but needed the bench space for a money making project so it was tore down. After that project was done I built on to the bench work and built a layout based on my 2 year old always wanting to come and sit to watch the trains go around and around...

    WPF May 1st to 8th

They have slowly been replacing the Searchlights and Standard three light signals to the newer hooded signals. I did give me the idea to take a pair of BLMA signals and set them up near a pair of...

    Hiding a staging yard....Yes or No ???

    I will add when I say hidden it's not completely hidden. It would be separated from view and give the allusion the train is leaving outbound when reality it's just being pulled into one of three spots. I would still have unrestricted access from overhead but looking from the front you would...

    Hiding a staging yard....Yes or No ???
