Golden Spike?

The trackwork is finally in place. I settled on a slightly modified version of my original idea. I think it will make things easier in the long run.

There are still a few things I would like to do, but for the most part this works nicely. I think I will look for the assortment of small Kato Unitrack pieces to see if I can fit in a little more track in the yard area. As it is, I do not think the sidings can hold the right number of cars to be used as an Inglenook Sidings puzzle. I think I can stretch the mainline out a little more and make it fit.

As you can see from the looks on the kids faces, they were in quite a good mood this weekend. The oldest was right a few weeks ago. Things are a little bit calmer when there aren’t little hands to knock everything over. But at the same time, it is fun to have the whole family in on the project.

Check out the other pictures, too.

I also uploaded an XTrkCad version of the trackplan for you to play around with.
