Granite Gorge and Northern Again
This is my version of the old Atlas Granite Gorge and Northern layout (I believe this was John Armstrong's original concept). I added peripheral tracks and a station, and a yard in the "front". It is a cross-roads layout- many roads are represented. It is controlled with a variety of Arduino microcomputers, with relay banks, servos, etc. It is fully lit for night operation. I have spent the last 18 months converting the engines to DCC, using an NCE Power Cab for control. I use NCE, TCS, Digitrax and ESU decoders. I am now changing to sound using ESU LokSound modules. The buildings have interiors, LED lighting. The town has fully functioning traffic signals, and street lights. I am adding more trees- just got 50 of various types. Yes, there is a Shinkansen train- I spent a lot of time in Japan in my career, and could not resist! More pictures to come.
Also, in the lower left corner, you can see the control panel. The gray plate is a drop-down programming track. The switch to the right of the programming track selects the main layout or programming track- protects against accidental reprogramming of a bunch of engines (not that I ever did that...)
