This Old West layout went on hold for about two years. I had laid it with Atas sectional track, but it needs to be durable and ultra-reliable as this is designed for transportation to shows. It uses a foam base on an open frame on a folding table. Weighs under 50 lbs.
I didn't like the conductivity reliability of the Atlas stuff, and once it is moved a little bit as a unit that will increase those problems. So, I am relaying all the track with Bachmann EZ track, which has proved to be very reliable and sturdy.
I am repurposing the EZ track from the old 4x4 Armodilloville plus some more.
There are two levels, but no intersections. It will be powered with DCC using two Bachmann DCC equipped American types and one analog Pola 4-4-0 to have three trains running simultaneously.

Looks like a neat concept! I like the varying track elevations and numerous visual blocks. Keep us posted!
