NTS & B Start of Suspension Bridge


May 2008 - I decided that instead of having a plain shelf crossing the middle of the room, I would try to build a suspension bridge. The towers are 1x2's that had edges rounded with a router. Wire between towers is speaker wire to get an idea how it will look, while I try to figure out how to make rest of the bridge. Bridge will have O and G gauge tracks. Shown is an LGB G Scale ICE train being used to test clearance.

NTS & B Passenger Yard Progress


May 2008 - Got in more Ross Custom Switch switch tracks, and finished laying the most of track on one end of the mainline passenger yard. Engines are pointed in planned direction when mainline loop is complete. The wood boards laying between the will eventually be passenger platforms.
