Cab ride! First run on completed mainline!

Enjoy.

WOW! Is this a club layout? I hope so, because you are going to need quite a few members just to do the ballasting, let alone the scenery! Ought to be somethin' else when it's done!

 

[rgeiter]

No, it’s not. It’s my own layout. Wanted a big one for my final layout. This is it. The goal is to have it completed in 5 years.

Wwwwwaaaiitttt, 20 minutes to make one lap? OMG!

 

[rgeiter]

Crazy, huh? I had the Digitrax throttle set at 45%. Occasionally increased to 50%! It’s going to be interesting with two trains running.

 

[Kusojiji]

I think your train room is bigger than my house, both floors.

 

[migalyto]

Awesome!

Very smooth running, looks great!

Bob: Lot smoother ride. You got a lot done. Ya, ya, more to do right? Good Job!

Thanks for the positive comments. Much appreciated.

I’m going to attempt to narrate this video and post it for public view on YouTube. Hopefully I can explain better what I’m planning. But for now, the video is unlisted. Wanted you guys to see it first.

Runs great Bob. It might take five years just for the ballast! That is huge for a private layout. Mine take just under two minutes to complete a circuit and sometimes I lose track of them in that short time.

On your layout I'd be wondering if the train stopped somewhere and didn't tell me about it.

Congratulations! I had my first run-all-trackage event last week. My layout is a lot smaller though, at freight speeds (~50 scale mph) it takes 4-5 minutes.

It’s gonna happen!

Looks great. Good to see it's to a point you can run some trains.

Yes sir, that's impressive. You have some seriously earned bragging rights.

Like others have said, I would dread the ballasting.

Enjoyed the ride!

It’s been a long journey up to this point. Thanks!

Thanks. Ballasting….. yeah, gonna take a while but it’ll get done eventually.

Yeah, I’m going to enjoy running them for now before the next phase… the yard!
