Just a couple of pics of my yard. It's pretty much everything I have, save for a few cars and a couple locos I am currently working on, darn lighting:mad:. For the first time in a long time everything is in the yard.

Bman,

I hope you don't mind, but I keep directing other members (in other threads) to your layout ... really nice work. Thanks for sharing!

TJ, I don't mind one bit, in fact I think that's a great compliment. Thank you very much.
I hope that changes I made turn out just as good as the original. I wanted to keep it the same but I was just having too many problems with derailments, first from engines then from cars, I tested the new track layout and it seems to be much better. Live and learn. :)

hi, nice job on your locos and rolling stock, just read about your derailments, one of my mates had that problem too. we rechecked his track but we also checked his wheel gauges on his locos and carriages, and we found quite a few out of gauge, even some real new ones, and readjusted them. his derailments are now down to a minimum. regards bob

Good point Bob, I have been meaning to post a video comparing two loco's that I have. One is an athearn SD38 and even when it takes the slightest turn the wheels start to chatter it derails quite a bit, the second is a SD40-2 from boadway limited very smooth with no noise, doesn't derail very ofter either. I think the wheels may not be quite the correct gauge on the athearn unit and that is why i get the chattering. Now I just have to figure out if I can adjust it.

Very interesting yard design...you get a lot more yard tracks
from those twin ladders...then you have a nice long main to
run on...you have both good switching action and great
continuous running...well done.

Don
