The St. Louis & Denver Railroad - The Build

[GPdemayo]

I like the track plan, really interesting.

Thanks Chet.....I'm still messing with it, maybe more changes to come.

Really great looking plan there George.  Lots of railroading in a small space, for O scale.   What are your curve radius?  Small Locos?  Shorty freight cars?  Looks like it will be a whole lot of operational options.

Hi Dave.....thanks for looking in.


It would be great getting all that detail in O scale, but I just don't have that kind of room, it's HO. The curves are 36" on the mainline and 18" to 24" on the branchline.


The cars are standard and the locos are mostly big steamers on the mainline and smaller older steamers on the branchline. I haven't bought many for the branchline because I keep finding these great larger locos that I just can't pass up.


The layout was planned to have materials (timber, coal, minerals) coming down on the branchline to a small transfer yard on the mainline where it would be forwarded to businesses that would manufacture and distribute as in the real world.
 
As for operations, the group of miscreants I hang around with will probably be able to get some running and switching done, if I can ever get the track work completed.

Are you really gonna let that group of miscreants operate on your railroad?? 
You're a very brave man!!!

Miscreants.......   That's a pretty big word for this forum.

Nahh!
I just copied Greg's remark.  Don't know what the heck it meant, but the context kinda
seemed like he was talkin' about the Ledbetters, or some illegitimate relatives!
Family history reflects that early Ledbetter ancestors settled and claimed title to a
bushy island in the Everglades!
The Ledbetter's natural instincts spread their genes throughout this new state that
was called Floridy!

Hi David.....after some of the mischief I've gotten into at Tom's, there isn't any doubt that they shouldn't run trains here.

Sorry Bob.....how about hooligans?

Hey Bob.....I didn't mention any names!!!!!!!!!!

Hooligans. Ehh!!!!!!  ??

Hooligan is already taken.  Dave and I claimed that title as riff-raff numbers one and two in the early days of this forum.  We don't use hooligan much cuz I always have to stop and remember how to spell it.  Riff and raff are much easier to spell.

See ya
