Class 1a N Scale Model Railroading

Another great run session is in the books! We invited Wild Bill from the Blanchard Branch line and our HO modeler Chad to join the usual foursome so it made for 6 operators last night! Here are a few short raw unedited videos and some pictures.. Sorry I wanted to take more but it's so hard when you're enjoying the company you're with! Did manage to get a group pic! Bonus! Anyway, Happy Model Railroading!

Scale = N Scale (1:160)
Track = Atlas Code 55
Minimum Radius = 24"
Turnout = #10 mainline, #7 yards, and spurs.
Benchwork = Open Grid
DCC = NCE
Overall dimensions = 32' x 48' with 16' extension
Helix = 5x9 on 1.5% Grade - 29" outer and 27" inner Radius
Grade = .5 -1.5%
Private personal layout.

I'm sure many of you have been wondering when there will be an update and today is the day! We've been working hard on finishing the Multnomah Falls terrain and shaping more hillside that works along the backdrop. Matt and I started to brainstorm after that project was close to completion and put our focus on Vancouver WA. We worked out a plan and ripped up all the old mainline. I added the crossover tracks that lead Northbound up to Seattle coming off the westbound track much like the real counterpart. I tried to cram in as much as possible with the limited space I had and so far so good. The next focus was pulling up the Wishram area and making a small yard to work Vancouver and head south down the BNSF Oregon Trunk Division. This will also serve as a mainline drop point for traffic to head south. I will provide another update in the next day or two when I get all the trackwork down so please look forward to that! Once again we appreciate your patience as you continue to watch us grow the railroad! Happy model railroading!!
