Hello Happy Fellow modelers !
SWMBO gave me the green light for a smaller layout (32" x 65") ! So I decided to build a new layout. I just want to see my train running through or doing some switching operations. The curves are really tight: 14"1/4 ! These two videos explain better than words. All your comments, advice and criticism will be greatly appreciated.

Switching track plans:

Folks with too much time on their hands can "save" hours working the "timesaver" puzzle. Some folks criticize unrealistic shunting in their layouts; but I say it all for fun.

I couldn't be married to your wife. Every time you get something up she shrinks your space. It's like she's saying "well he figured out how to set the train up here but he won;t if i only give him 30: by 48"

Nice quiet train action on a small layout - brings back old 4x4 Ephrata Valley RR layout memories. Cool.

I ordered four used 50' cars but unfortunately they are all Bachmann. Am I under arrest ?
