The Atlantic and Southern Build, Part 1

Thanks for following along.

Great solution Tom and the trackage looks to flow very naturally.  Surely not the place where you want to have to worry about freights or passenger trains making it through as that does not look at all easy to get to !!


Well done and now the A&S can continue towards hauling freight / passengers and earning some revenue ...


I will continue to follow along as this new road takes shape in its new home and space.


Cheers, sure glad that hand has healed for you and you are back in the groove,

I'm glad the curved right turnout , turned out right

It's easy to look back in hindsight, and not to be critical, but why did you think the original turnout would work?  It looks like a disaster waiting to happen.     I'm glad the curved turnout worked.

The new arrangement looks much better Tom.     I've been burned by those S curves before and with much shorter cars none the less (stuff happens when you're trying to do to much in a 4' by 6' space).

Paul,

Thanks for the kind words. Trains back is revenue service is a good thing. Thanks also for following along. I hope to get much more done in the coming months.

Jan,

Yes, the curved right turnout did turnout right! Finally, I took a turn and it turned out right!

Dr. Jeff,

The answer to your question is very simple. I was just a dang idiot here. I failed to adhere to the principle of the 6 P's.

PROPER PLANNING PREVENTS PISS POOR PERFORMANCE.

Thanks for checking in, much appreciated.

Bob,

Thank you, much appreciated. I have no idea what in the world I was thinking. I'll just blame it on everyone else but me. Oh well, live and learn is possible.

El prez does well again.....even if his "laurels" are getting a little long in the tooth.

Greg,

Thanks, much appreciated. And, just for the record my laurels aren't long in the tooth, they are wide in the pants. Just saying but no need to picture this.
