Updates on Alex Rivera’s layout
vry nice ty for the idel of the wood car
Nice tip on the wood chip and coal cars. I also like the idea of lighted switch lights in the yard.
I like how you have squeezed your hobby into the garage! As far as the switch lites- cool. Are they only compatible with under table switch motors? Nice Job…
I can see that the car won’t be in the garage much longer. Nice layout Alex and the ideas for the chip cars and the coal cars is excellent. I love the switch lights too. That’s something I’l want on my Bonita Grand Central as i go along. I’ll be using the facia board for the controls too like you have. Very good video with lots of great info. Love the CSX loco too.

very cool. i saw the inserts that can be puchased and thought to myself that i could make it cheaper… i used the styrofoam out of a cd player box and cut it to fit. as i cut it and shaped it i noticed that it came apart in small balls. so i painted it with gray and black. looks good. then i glued sawdust and it worked great too.
