I thought I'd share a few pictures of the layout...

This was the planning stage a couple years ago...

Back from last year's NMRA train show in Atlanta. NS gave us this poster of the Heritage units event in Spencer (about 40 min from us) and we had it framed.

Thanks guys for the nice comments. I'll put some new pics out this weekend.

Hamltnblue, I'm using NCE. Started out as a PowerCab. I expanded it greatly though. Added a 5 amp booster, a second throttle, two plug in ports, and 4 pxr circuit breaker panels to create 4 separate power districts. There are toggle switches that cut power on or off with LED lights to show which are powered.

What's the overall dimensions?

It's 12 x 14' and has a peninsula in the middle which is 5' x 9'. About 60' of mainline run per run and there are essentially 4 loops and a couple passing sidings (one on the upper level) and two on the lower . Max grade is 2% runs almost throughout except on lower passing, the peninsula and the part you see when you first walk in the room.
