But now that I really like switching side I'm in two minds, I really don't have long enough runs to do those scenes justice.<br /><br />Jas...JLandT Railroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505164174036992414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433568508521117006.post-72618049925753716312014-03-13T02:58:32.118+11:002014-03-13T02:58:32.118+11:00Very cool.

(Heck, if it were me, I'd model a long, winding countryside scene across the entire upper half) I generally feel that these areas act as nice visual breaks for the viewer and really compliment and enhance areas of intense industrial switching.<br /><br />But to each their own. There is certainly plenty of good reasons to maximize a space for switching opportunities. Good work!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234669358893718366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433568508521117006.post-76278489035233036442014-03-12T23:52:30.268+11:002014-03-12T23:52:30.268+11:00The above post has been updated with the newer ver...The above post has been updated with the newer version of the Paper Mill & TTX Repair Facility.<br /><br />Jas...JLandT Railroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505164174036992414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433568508521117006.post-1992494187596419262014-03-12T07:50:51.007+11:002014-03-12T07:50:51.007+11:00Those crossovers are single only, the plan has cha...Those crossovers are single only, the plan has changed again actually.

The TTX repair shop is a good substitute that utilizes existing equipment and the paper mill should be quite interesting. I am curious though about the trackwork leading to TTX -- are those crossovers or double slips on that orange lead? If so, why such complicated trackwork?Rich Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00054981701699480223noreply@blogger.com
