I like it Alan.....plenty of industry to provide interest.
How many operators did you need? Was the mainline a continuous circuit? If so I assume that you could get by single-handed if you left the mainline trains to look after themselves. Thanks for posting.

Yes John, the main lines were continuous, and the curves were canted so 'exhibition' speeds could be maintained.
Usually had two operators, one for each level, so that the main line trains could be alternated. But was at times single-manned. It was a great layout to operate and I wish I had not sold it now.

Hi Alan,
That looks great. Thanks for sharing those with us. The layout looks busy, as we say at our club, and we like those sort of layouts. They always attract lots of people at exhibitions. Paul. |

Thanks Paul. It was well received at exhibitions, for a 'foreign' layout. The main lines gave continuous action for the kids (of all ages), and the industry shunting was interesting for others (especially me)! Kept me happily shunting for the two day exhibitions.
