Default Club layout 46' X 36'
Now this project is way too large for me to post here. It is one years worth of work at the club. So if you like watching a build from the start here it is.

I know I posted some of this stuff here before but cannot find it.

Looks cool. I was surprised to see that you are using that scale indoors.

What an awesome undertaking. How many people are involved overall? Do you feel there are any areas of expertise over/under-represented? Only a club (or someone with a LOT of friends) could succeed at this scale [pun intended] of enterprise.

There are around 30 members and we have about 25 active. Each of us has a unique interest be it modeling, operations, scenery, wood working, electronics. When we tackle a project it is together and we all learn from each other. Sure there are disagreements but we are men and that happens.

It is a an honor to be apart of my club and I treasure my time with the guys.

That is one hugelynormous layout.

Thanks for sharing.

I particularly like the tip about testing before adding scenery -
although in my experience, a high-speed derail tends to assist in problem-solving by moving much of the scenery out of the way.


btw: what scale is it?
