I really enjoyed my Gilman switching layout when I had it. Makes a good operating session when you just want to run a few trains by your self.Camhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01950581716209236162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970793914014947339.post-28773429925223107472014-12-03T12:14:19.545-08:002014-12-03T12:14:19.545-08:00Well, I have been away from checking posts for a w...Well, I have been away from checking posts for a while obviously! This is great news, I really look forward to seeing your progress on this. I think before we discussed how my Gilman was not really laid out like the prototype with the switchback, so it is cool to see you going that route. I totally think this is a great layout concept and makes so much sense in the space you have. It will be fun to operate and the continuous run is a great option. The idea of Whitfield is pretty cool too, although on your plan I'm not sure how that fits in - is the MEC extending beyond the wall of the room, or is that open space over there? Even if you leave that as an option for later, plenty to build on the peninsula and the 2 walls. My original planned called for the CT River bridge, but I compromised that for a B&M Graviton scene. I really would have loved to include that bridge though! Anyway, best of luck and keep us posted o your progress.Mike McNamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12902543654492633693noreply@blogger.com
