Northern Pacific Rocky Valley Branch Switching Layout Build

[Colbert]

Love this layout ! Is there a last version of the track plan somewhere ? As usual, I surely missed something...

Nice job! It looks great!

You've really done a nice job. I hope you compared photos of your junk piles before and after weathering too.

The background highlights the scene and shadow box really well.

Thank you!

 

[GuilfordRailman]

That looks great!

Thanks!

 

[GuilfordRailman]

Three things…
1 Loved following the build, turned out great!
2 Looking forward to the pictures and report on the show!
3 Funny how you used the word “finished”, we’ve all that heard that before!

Thanks! It was a fun build

I’ll definitely post about the show!

I’m sure more projects for Rocky Valley will come along in the near future.

Track plan is still the same as it was during the design phase Not sure what post number it was but definitely on page one of this thread.

A week ago I ordered a universal throttle pocket for my NCE powercab. I cannot decide where it would best be situated. See photos below:

Any feedback would be appreciated

I use the same throttle pockets. I put them low so when the throttle is in it doesn’t obstruct view of the layout so much. I’ll have a fascia one day

Can you still mount it anyway?
Looks like there’s two screw holes on each side?

 

[GuilfordRailman]

Well that sucks

I screwed the two halves next to one another, works for now!

Yup! Did exactly that

It arrived warped and the plastic seems a little brittle so my guess is it’s been on the shelf for a bit.

I'm guessing it broke at the bottom? Maybe a thin plastic brace glued across the joint will get you through the show if you can't get another one in time. THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!
