Trestles from The Siding, idea from BNSFIA. Putting in an elevated line on the Tycomania VII layout.
The Twin Peaks was something that Micro Busss made me green with envy, so I had to dash out
and get one, too. Thanks for the inspiration, I'm having fun with this one.

Looks awesome, Chops!! The twin peaks are certainly unique and add to the "elevated line" feel.

Nice to see something sitting in a box in my "depot" is being put to good use
I have MANY more trestle set Atlas Lionel as well
PLUS Brass and Nickel Silver 15 track to make ovals as well
Hope to get some pics up The atlas set is basic 1- 12 's doubled with span and OH HOW MANY shades of grey
Ironically have not seen the mountain peaks in any of my purchases over the years though do remember seeing them brand new at Newberrys years ago as a kid

Yep as was McCrory Great Eastern Mills Mays
BUT The place for trains in the seventies in the North East was Two Guys
They always had a big sale once a year Many stuff I have been buying on line and sales came from there

Meanwhile, in the land of Tycolia, the track crew uncovered an ancient pterodactyl
while setting in piers for the new Elevated.

For a while I was trying to warp two lengths of flex track to make it around the
Clementine Mine. What with the the nine inch radius and such, things kept
sproinging out of place. I finally gave up, went to bed, when I woke I realized,
"why not move the Clementine Mine?"
Moving the Clementine Mine one track over, to the passing track, now allows
me to use 15 inch curves, which will in turn allow a small trains, not just four
wheeled Tyco trolleys.

Nice problem-solving Chops! The elevated line is looking great!
