Nice find on the Kato's.

Personally, I would choose code 83 regardless of brand. It looks more realistic IMO. As for track, I have had no problem using Peco switches with Atlas flex track. It is not hard to shim the track heights so they mate up well. The sprung Peco turnouts are quite nice if you don't use switch...

I've tried several, including XtrackCAD, and I find SCARM to be the easiest to use for layout design.

Mitch, You have a nice design here. I like the hidden staging area too.

I love all the vintage cars. Well done!

It looks good to me.

It's looking more and more like SW Virginia. :-)

Fantastic!...I never thought to look for this kind of stuff. I can't wait to play with it to see what I come up with. John

Ok, I hate to play stupid here...Where did you download the trains for your scarm layout? I've never seen that before.

That is a nice chunk of space being added to your layout.

You are doing some impressive work on the layout. It's hard to believe that is Kato Unitrack. I always remembered a toyish look to it but not so with your treatment of it.

Go back to page two and you can see he left access from under layout. I had to go back and check myself since I have been following this thread for a while now and didn't remember myself. :-)

Neat idea building a railroad in a suite case.

I really enjoyed your video tour. Keep up teh great work!

Your layout sure has evolved nicely. Looking forward to seeing other things as you get them completed.

I use plastic storage tubs now but in the future I will house my N-Scale locos and cars in a walnut cabinet with acrylic sliding doors for viewing when not in use. My HO stuff will probably be stored on the layout and/or plastic storage tubs. I need to keep it up so the kids stay out of it...

Keep up the great work.

The backdrop goes a long way to make your modeling efforts shine. I like all the details you have tried to include. You have more patience than I. :-)

I have though many times about the N&W / Virginian merger. What if they never took place? it would be cool to see the Blue/Yellow paint scheme rolling by daily. Unfortunately the merger happened about a decade before I came along.

Keep posting up the videos once you get the new camera. I love watching them as your layout continues to progress.
