2016 layout.

My layout is displayed over this weekend at brickworld Indy.

I redesigned most of the layout from last year and built quite a few new buildings.

Have a few small tweaks to make but plan on keeping this one for a while.

Impressive. The module with the road in slope is awesome.

[Bricktown]

That's a wonderful layout.

It's nice to think that only one person can built a layout that size.

I have some project for my town, that require a lot of bricks (around thousands). More than what PaB can supply.

I see that you too, use a lot of brick (for your roads and your layout base), where and how did you buy that quantity of bricks ?

[Chumley]

Thanks for all the kind words about the layout. I feel it is the best I have ever done.

The layout has been undergoing changes for years. Seems like I'm never happy with it. I have a couple things I'm going to change but for the most part stuff is going to get more detailed.

As far a getting brick I can say that I have purchased a lot form Lego store back when it was easy to get cases of pab and it was discounted at conventions. Also I have bought out 2 individuals and that doubled my collection.

On the layout I ran the outside loop on 9 volt and ran as expected. Fun fact that tract running all day the train travels 10 real miles.

Inside look I dabled in powerfunctions. Ran AA battery box to 2 train motors controlled by the sbrick. It was outstanding. Being able to control the train from my phone. And people loved it. Only went through 3 battery changes. Better than I thought.

As a one person show I wouldn't want to go much bigger. It took 4 hours to set up and then another couple detailing. Teardown took 2 hours. I did have some help with teardown from another guy in the club.

One other thing. The base is a lot of duplo built up and 8x16 brick

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Wow ...the train shed with the sliding platform is totally cool! :wub:

[Man with a hat]

Nice layout. I also like the sliding platform.

And the road with bridge at a small angle to the tracks look great as well.
