Utah Railway N scale layout

2008-12-20T09:05:00.002-07:00

I have once again rebuilt my N scale Layout. The shelf Idea was pretty cool, but it was just too big for me to move around. I have started building a modular layout that can be adapted to the space available by changing the modules around.

My new couplers might be a little big.

Finally some updates on my N scale layout. I have some buildings built and am working on the backdrops. I still have a little track work to do. Mostly in the staging yard. I am also starting to think about scenery. The pictures are of most of the industries. The signal system has a few bugs to work out but it is almost where I want it. I hope you like the video.

Here is my intermodal crane. It just needs paint

Here is the latest on my N scale layout. The top picture is of the computer screen. The computer runs my signal system. The rest of the pictures are of the layout.

I found out that I was using the wrong glue for my buildings. Now that I have the right stuff it is fun to build them. CA type glue is does not work on plastic models. The bottom picture is my cousin's locomotives that have been broke for years. I got them fixed.

Finally I have some signals on my layout. As you can see by the clamps it is a work in progress.

Progress is fairly slow but I have started laying track.

The freight yard is starting to look operational

Sorry Brian 2 of them work better on a HO scale flat car

Here is the latest progress on my layout. The big helix to get me from shelf to shelf.

So I have decided to rebuild my layout with an idea I am not sure how it will work. I will post more as I find out. Here are a few shots of the first parts being built.

Well here is the first Utah Railway repaint. It was a ton of work but I think it turned out pretty good.

Here are a few pictures of the progress of the layout
Here are a couple engines taken apart and ready for repaint.

Here are a couple of pictures of the construction of the benchwork.
I am building it out of 1/2" foam. It will have a 1/8" wood facing around it. It should be very lightweight.
