legoman666 Posted December 19, 2015 My good bridge is at a show. As are all of the trains, so you might find the train tracks lacking in the train department. 2 complete loops with decent switching space. As planned IRL Crappy photo My good bridge is at a show. As are all of the trains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yohai71 Posted December 19, 2015 Sweet Jesus, I need this kind of setup (layout AND trains) in my life. Very nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

legoman666 Posted January 18, 2016 View from the security camera. Got my trains and bridge back. Latest lugbulk order was for pieces for brick built roads, so it'll be another year before those are ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted January 18, 2016 Nice. Security camera in the LEGO room is a good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legoman666 Posted January 18, 2016 Nice. Security camera in the LEGO room is a good idea. Thanks. I bought 3 and knew exactly where to put the first 2, couldn't decide on the third. Then I realized that the value of the Lego in my basement far exceeds not only the equity I have in my house, but basically everything in it as well. Plus most robberies are committed by people the victim knows, and anyone who knows me knows that I have a large collection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxSupercars Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Nice. Security camera in the LEGO room is a good idea. Security camera against wife and kids... :D Nice train city... :) Max Edited January 18, 2016 by MaxSupercars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted January 18, 2016 What a wonderful layout. And is that bridge supported in the middle by a Tower Bridge tower? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baard Posted January 18, 2016 Nice layout! The outer curves are ME curves of what radius? Thanks for sharing, and a good idea with the security camera(s) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legoman666 Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) What a wonderful layout. And is that bridge supported in the middle by a Tower Bridge tower? It's the towers from either end of the bridge staked together. Eventually I will replace it with something less conspicuous. Nice layout! The outer curves are ME curves of what radius? Thanks for sharing, and a good idea with the security camera(s) R104 on the outside. In the far left you can see every radius parallel, r104, r88, r72, r56 and r40.

CaptainJackBrickster Posted January 25, 2016 I really love the idea with the reddish brown tiles on the train tracks.... Gives it a rustic flare. Must have been expensive though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legoman666 Posted January 25, 2016 I really love the idea with the reddish brown tiles on the train tracks.... Gives it a rustic flare. Must have been expensive though! The 1x4s were on the pick a brick wall. I think I used 3 cups so it was only ~$50. The 1x2s I had to order from PAB online. I bought 3000 $0.10/ea. But the cost of those was nothing compared to the cost of the ballasting that's still ongoing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO_duden Posted January 25, 2016 Oh, very nice layout. Ghostbusters are on guard. Do you have any closeups of the locos? They look very good. And thanks for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THERIZE Posted January 25, 2016 Great layout! Sooo big!! People that visit you and see the layout must be shocked. What is that yellow train is the last picture. It seems incredibly long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legoman666 Posted February 1, 2016 Oh, very nice layout. Ghostbusters are on guard. Do you have any closeups of the locos? They look very good. And thanks for sharing. Thanks! The locos are all here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/77871011@N08/albums Great layout! Sooo big!! People that visit you and see the layout must be shocked. What is that yellow train is the last picture. It seems incredibly long. Mostly they're astounded by the mess. The yellow train is a Union Pacific GE EMD, a UP Big Boy, 2 baggage cars, and 4 coaches. All told about 14' long. The Big Boy and coaches I found instructions for online, the EMD is my own design. First person view from the Amtrak locomotive. Birds eye view from security camera.

ecmo47 Posted February 3, 2016 Nice layout and a great bunch of custom trains! That HE at the station is looking rather puny next to the rest of your 8 wide stuff. You said that you got the Bigboy instructions off line. Do you still have the link? Been wanted to do a mallet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You said that you got the Bigboy instructions off line. Do you still have the link? Been wanted to do a mallet. Honestly it took a lot of work to get it to run well. The transmission is not very well designed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
