Tom,
Nice looking pictures. Great progress. I still can see the "cave" in the room. You sure have it stuffed with stuff. Not a lot of wiggle room. Progress is coming along. Are you going to work on the other two levels in the same area now or in the near future? Inquiring minds want to know. Your staging are is similar to my neighbors, except we installed an East bound and west bound year in about a one foot deep area. His yard is about 30 feet long and in some cases two trains are parked on the same track. That's serious staging. most of my trains are short, so my staging area is small. I do have one long track where I can park a 40 car train.
More pictures please. Opened the Blandings building this morning to see all the parts. WOW. Anyway, I put them back in the box for now. I have too much on my plate to get started now. I do look forward to the build!!!
Have a great weekend, my friend.

color=#800080]I have devised a devious plan for the operators using any train from this area. It will require two operators to move certain "Named Trains" from here to the main line. [/color]

Woo-hoo! We have vertical progress for a change. You must have grown tired of going around in circles. Great progress. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Tom, you have made a lot of progress since Thursday when I was there. Now you will have some storage under the layout to move things around and out of your way. Looking good!!!!

Tom, the layout sure is progressing nicely. I can't wait to see the next installment. If that Barnstead kit ever becomes to overwhelming I may know someone very interested.

It should be illegal for anyone to have that many unbuilt yellow boxes.

Operators!?
Did he say operators?
As in OpSig?
As in the NMRA is coming to Orlando and this empire HAS TO BE on the layout tour?
Nope.
No pressure.
I mean, who wouldn't be honored to have some of the OTHER best modelers in the world visit your completed, landscaped, fully operational shrine to all that is holy in model railroading?

I love the shelf full of yellow boxes - every layout needs one. The extra storage space is always needed - I like your design.
