As I mentioned below, I’m taking the summer to work on getting my O scale 2 rail modules out of mothballs and adding to them so I can finally run some trains. The plan below is what I’m hoping will happen. The stretch of track at the top is basically my existing modules with a bit of modification. The dark colored track is running. The rest is around three walls in my garage. The space is about 27’ long x 13’ wide. I started by building a new wall down the center of my 2-1/2 car garage and insulating so I can run all winter. My Harley currently sits in the center of the horseshoe. It will be in storage over the winter. The notch in the wall at the right encloses a staircase to the 2nd. floor loft. The gray 180 at the left is a free standing pair of curves that can be put in place, in front of the overhead door, for continuous running. They are not built and will be the last piece, since back and forth switching is what I enjoy most. It is a pretty tight layout with mostly 36” radius’s and #5 turnouts, but the largest engine I own is a Pennsy H-9 Consolidation and it runs just fine. Most cars are 40’ with some 50’s. I also have a bunch of small critters. Well that’s all for now. I’ll be back with more.
