Thanks to great posts by Toptrain, Kovacste, and Catfordken I pulled off the dust cover, banished the cats, and started up on the layout again. Most notably, the haitus did me some good, in that I decided to abandon this L shaped yard extension to the left of the layout; it would take up so much room. And I want to pull out my Tycomania layout again and put it in that space. Instead I am laying in a small double track stub and taking the extension around the layout to form another passing track. This will create even more in-motion operating possibilities when I get to installing DCC. Less is more, sometimes.

| Pretty cool Jeff. Looks like a fun track plan to run trains on and that crossover makes things interesting as well.

Glad I could help convince you. I definitely look forward to seeing it completed.

Happy to see that you're back in it, Jeff. I've been laying my track down just to see where everything will go. Bought two more right hand turnouts, switches tonight.
