HO Layout for sale

[chataylo]

I'm not much of a model railroader (anymore) - but figured this was a good place to list...

It is a 14' x 4' HO layout - hillside theme with river, switching yard, 2 bridges and 2 tunnels. All switches are powered and wired. The track power is split into sections (all sidings/yard spurs can be shut off). Over 50' of track. Everything is landscaped but there are no buildings. The layout is split into 2 pieces (7' x 4') for transportation (and moving it out of my basement).

I got it from the original builder for my kids several years ago - they are teenagers now and not interested. I have a 7-1/2" gauge live-steam American that will occupy my free time so the HO stuff is just collecting dust.

Asking $350


Thanks

Man! My eyes are killing me!! :eek: :eek:

Any chance of redoing the pics for a better view???? :confused:

[chataylo]

I'll see if I can get some better pics.

[Old 97]

That would be great!
I'd really like to see this layout of yours. :)

Hey Chataylo,

Are you building the live steamer or is it ready to run???? :confused:

[chataylo]

It was partially done when I got it. I think the previous owner (he passed away) bought the parts machined and did the assembly himself. It wasn't complete when I got it, but the frame, running gear, and plumbing were done. I'm tearing alot of it back apart to check dimensions and such. Some of the drilling and tapping is of pretty poor quality, too. I may have to replace the boiler because it is copper - Indiana does not like to certify copper boilers.

Sorry, but I didn't have a chance to take more pics yet. I'll try to get them up before the weekend.

Don't sweat it! :D

Speaking of live steamers, this reminds me of a huy on the Russian forum who was building his own. feel free to check it out.

I'm not an active participant of that forum, but I use to be.

You've left out one rather important piece of information...

Where is this located? If it's down the street, folks might be interested, but the UPS shipping costs would be rather frightening.

No need to tell us your exact address, but at least say something like "I'm about 10 miles outside of Metropolis, TX" so folks will have an idea where it's at.

[chataylo]

Sorry - it is in central Indiana, 30 or so miles north of Indianapolis.

The wood-finish part in the second pic is inside the tunnel - There used to be a building that sat on top of the tunnel, but it is no longer on the layout.

Nice looking Kubota. What year and size is it. I have a B5100E. It is one heck of a tractor
Hmm 30 miles north of INDY. I am 35 MIles NE Markleville

1983 B7100E 4WD. Less than 900 hours on it. It's okay for cutting the grass (5 acres), but too small to plow the snow out of the driveway.

I live just west of Atlanta.
