Newberry-Columbia Line, SC- Just got too take a picture

[;)] I’ve been building the Newberry-Columbia Line for about 5 years. It is a 12X14 foot around the wall railroad that runs from Newberry, SC to Columbia, SC. It has been fun except for one curved area.

And this is it. I have re-built this curve about six times, even buying several sections of 3 foot Atlas flex track about three times to build it. Some how it just didn’t want to work, especially when it come to getting the rail joints to line up.

Also when the big engines went through, either steam or 6 wheel truck E units, they would head off the track into the ditch.
