"DSC_0018_edited.jpg" - image/jpeg, 640x365 (24bit)


List,

Someone requested a track plan and photos of my EL layout, so here they are.
There's a rough sketch of the current layout (staging is under Endicott) and
of the expanded version with what I call the "Yin-Yang" extension. It's
basically the same track plan with a longer mainline. I always wanted some
nice reverse curves (superelevated, of course), so the new portion curves
almost continuously, with a minimum radius of 42". I'm also adding the
parallel portion of the LV Owego branch and YO yard. The photos show several
views made possible by the wall coming down. The engine terminal was against
wall on two sides, and in these photos it happened to have two sets of BN
runthrough power (Paul Tup's comment: "What RR are you modeling, anyway?").
The NP SD45 (Athearn) looks really sharp, IMO; I'm not fond of BN green. If
Bowser ever does the Alco C636, there'll be an SP&S unit, too. The hole in
the wall will lead to a 6 track staging yard for D&H/B&M/LV-Sayre and S&U
branch. Westbounds will cross the through-girder bridge ("C" on the diagram)
and curve to the right instead of the left as they do now.

The new section will be completed except scenery (including signals) prior
to cutover so as to not disrupt operations on the current layout.
