NTS&B Phase 2 Middle loops track complete

The track work is completed on the Phase 2 (modern / spring) section. Still have to finish wiring in the switch tracks, trim the carpet (ballast), add buildings, etc. I decided to include the third, inside loop. The outside loop has 0-42 curves minimum, the middle loop has 0-34 minimum, and the center loop is 0-27. It has no switches, so will be able to run any Marx or motorized hand cars with no problems.

NTS&B Phase 2 Middle loop almost complete

I finally got some time to play. Phase 2 trackwork for the middle loop is almost completed. Still waiting the arrival of 1 switch track to complete the figure 8 reversing loop. The loop is configured to run as a oval, a figure 8, or as a reversing loop. The decision is still pending about another simple 0-27 inner loop with no sidings for running Marx or other models that won't run through the Lionel style switches. The center portion will eventually contain some MTH and Lionel operating buildings.
