Good Morning
Well it never fells every time i"m not working on the layout i set down on the Anyrail CAD. and it just cost my more money .
Spent the night filling in the the free space that was in the coal mine loop that is on the left side and also the turntable yard .
Here it the end resolute and hope to be the final one . It funny how these siding just and over a hundred feet of track in no time. As far as the right side wing that just to get something on the paper . This will change a little , I just am not happy with the covered bridge . the bridges will be the two that cross the Ohio river over to KY. so enjoy your Saturday it snowy and cold here

Here is a couple of pic from this weekend work . It was nice getting the center cut and fitted and the roundhouse and powerplant track tacked down . Alot of work done on the coal mine area also got to cut the holes in the wall for the track loop and also the bench work area that is where all the power , maintenance and programming track will be . Enjoy and may God bless your day

The track where the three switches come down from the mine on the left, unless maybe I don’t see if it goes under or carries on? Sorry I forgot to mention the coal mine originally.

Yes your right , I have 14" after the switch may need just a couple more inches to get three cars and a switcher to fit .May need to move the switch to the #2 inlet track to give me more room

Good evening. Well week off getting a little vacation time in so this week I got started on turntable insert. Last pic is what I'm shooting for . I'm looking for a building that is close to the powerhouse . May just have to scratch build it or modify one . The walthers roundhouse is real close will need to add some details to get it closer. Office to the right I will make it from the extra walls that comes with the kits . Also look for some better pic of cooling station, water tower ,ash pit and wash station . This pic has a couple of L-1 in it looks like maybe a j class or two love it

You are lucky to have planned for a large turntable. I had only a 90 footer (all that was available at the time), and it isn't long enough for some of my larger steam. As a result, I have tied it down, and installed a turnout on it leading to the 2-stall engine house. I have a wye that I can use for the 2-10-4's and 4-8-4's, so the loss of the turntable is no big deal. Some of the prototype had similar problems, solved similarly. Your layout is looking great!
