Sumpter, do you have a thread with your layout somewhere?
I have two "layouts", the first, the Lake County Model Rail Road Club, in Wauconda, Il. is linked in my signature. the Second, is the Lake County Society of Modular Engineers, modular layout, and Deano posted some excellent pictures of my modules here: UP SD40-2's Milwaukee Show Review/Pete's(Sumpter250's) Modulars

With those three modules, and a new three module set under construction, there is no room left for any other "layout", even the Ntrak module gets moved around regularly.

I have seen those before...nice work!

I'm curious...where do you run your narrow gauge trains? I think I recall something about an HOn3 high line on your modules?

By the way...my On3 layout has been disassembled into sections as we have a guest staying up there now. I've stored all of my On3 equipment to prevent it from becoming toys for his dog.

The right of way that crosses the steel arch bridge, on the center module, is dual gauge. There is a set of "back tables" that carry the narrow gauge track around the back in a dog bone, with 18" radius curves. When the modules are home, in the basement, I will hook up the narrow gauge loop, and run it occasionally. LCMRRC had narrow gauge at one time, but the membership decided that, with only one member involved with it, the "real estate" would better serve standard gauge...narrow is gone now.
I am still considering opening the skyboard on the module with the "rock climber", and extending the scene on to the back table. The thought is to take the "river" back is a sweeping curve, just inside the curve of the track(to be hidden), and in the bend of the river, place a turntable, part in, and part on the bank of the river.
