Welcome to Henderson

[elwoodblues]

Well seeing as I'm back on the road and I'll be taking my small partially built N scale switching Layout with me, thought now would be a good to start a thread on it.

First a little history.  When on my out of town work assignments I would bring Kits with me to build while I was away.  This was fine at first, but then the interest in doing that waned as I was missing something.  I realized that since covid I haven't operated on any layouts and that was one part of the hobby I really missed.  I've been home for a year now so I have started doing operations again.  So on my last work assignment in Henderson Kentucky, I decided to build a small N scale switching layout called "Henderson" as that was where I was working at the time.

I originally was going to build it to the T-trak standards but found the Kato unitrack too restrictive for what I wanted.  By this time the module frames were built so I used Atlas code 55 track and turnouts.  The modules consist of 2 - 14" x 12" modules and 2 - 14" x 24" modules which are easy to box together and transport.





The track plan...

To date all the track is laid and the wiring done, the building for the town proper itself are built and painted and half of them have been detailed.

Let the adventure continue.

Thanks for looking in and following along Jerry and Bernd.





The module stand complete and assembled.  Everything is bolted together for easy assembly and knockdown.





The modules set on top of the frame.





The module stand knock downed and ready to go.

Thanks for looking in.

Very nice job building the stands.

Howdy Ron,

The excellent stand design and construction promise to be a lot of fun.  The switching layout module should keep you out of the bars—nice work as usual.

Have fun,
mike

Howdy Ron. Nice carpentry work on the layout & stand. Looks very neat.
Good switching plan too.
When you say you are back on the road.  Is that holidays or still for work ?

Thanks for the comments Rick, Mike, James, Greg, Philip, Rob, Bob and Tom.

Rob, "back on the road again" = work   I started this switching layout when I was working in Kentucky in 2023.

Tom, I think we can call this version 1.1

....And he's back!! Looking forward to the "1.1" version so I'll be peeking in. Nice to see this sub forum coming to life. Have safe travels to Florida.
