The Peanut Railroad (PRR)

[migalyto]

Still looks like a peanut, so it still works!

Boy, all the red tape you have to go through just to have your peanut layout XD Hope the plans solidify soon! Love the shape of the track plan and the humor involved!

Thanks !

Thanks !

You realise after all the hype you've done for this layout, you are going to have to build it now, with or without SWMBO permission.

Thats true! We have stamped our seal of approval on it, that's what matters!

OK, you send the flowers, I'll send the chocolates, and Chris can buy the wine to keep her happy.

The good thing with the flowers is the wife can either enjoy them with the chocolates or put them on his grave.
Just sayin'.

Small update: today I slightly modified the benchwork. The length has been reduced by 6" (150mm).

 

[Chris from France]

Done ! The "new" benchwork is a little shorter than the previous one. I am very happy with the result so far.

 

[Chris from France]

I am considering adding four turnouts to increase the interest of the layout. Any advices or comments ?

It would defiantly give you a few more options for running.

 

[BunkerTheHusky]

I always say more turnouts more better!

 

[Chris from France]

Almost done. I still need one more piece of track. It should arrive this week.

 

[Chris from France]

With a little help from Anyrail, I found a temporary (?) solution. And I'm very pleased with the result.

 

[Chris from France]

The last piece of track arrived today. The tracks are completely finished. Now I need Dinos, dragons and cacti, of course !

 

[Chris from France]

And, maybe, some trains...

Is this the layout you're building or is it the L-shaped.

Or did you convince the SWMBO to grant you the space to build 2 layouts?

The mysteries of Love...
I hope to run these two layouts but not at the same time of course.

 

[Chris from France]

Many thanks for all your kind comments. Very appreciated !
So...let's roll !

 

[BunkerTheHusky]

It runs! Nice to see some happy locomotive stretching their wheels on the peanut XD
