This is the control panel I built for our 3 rail layout. You can build it the same exact way for HO or any other 2 rail model railroad.

Yes it is 3 rail, thank you for noticing ;) 3' wide x 20' long, with a liftout section to span the door. Originally it was going to be a smaller static display to photograph all the custom work I do for clients and/or Ebay. Now it's grown and will be fully functional to switch cars. The frame...

I just had to buy all 3 of them, both powered units and the dummy. ;)

A 3' diorama I intend to use to showcase some custom cars/engines for picture taking. This is the second attempt as the 1st didn't stay together when I picked it up. I used regular hydrocal for the rock castings so they are quite heavy. On the 1st attempt, I used wadded up newspaper and taped it...

Yes I have all that listed as well. There's a short demo video on youtube if you've never seen an Atlas O...
