My new layout

Here is the new and improved west end of Allentown Yard.

Looks like a busy place. Post update as you go along.

Have fun,

Looks good. Is that sheet rock you are laying track on?

Wow, very cool.

Great job.

A monster yard. I love it.

Looks kinda like sheet rock, but I am guessing he is using that paper-like fiberboard. I haven’t seen that for sale in a while, bit that is what it reminds me of.

No, it’s Homosote. The plaster was from a previous layout. Homosote comes in 4x8’ sheets and was a great base for the yard.

The yard can hold around 300 cars when full. Each end can be worked by from two separate drill tracks. There is a separate arrival/departure yard and engine terminal around on the other side.
