Here’s an update on my module:
I’ve just about finished the coal trestle, which I’m calling the Lafayette County Coal Co after Jim Lafayette, from whom the trestle and other buildings came from.
The brick retaining wall was a lot of fun to make, and I must say I’m happy with how it turned out, considering it will be hardly visible.
Regular street trackage for standard frieght equipemtn. . I had never heard the name eithe until I started the reseach for doing street tracks and came accross it.

Some very cool stuff indeed this week. I’m back to working on my layout after a long hiatus. I was getting pretty burned out on the whole thing. But now I seem to have gotten my mojo back.
Here are few shots of the Altoona end of my N Scale Layout.
Loving the photography everyone!
Kevin, thank you for the info on Fluke meters. I was just asking elsewhere for a meter recommendation as I have locomotives that need DCC sound decoders in time.
So I’m working on my shelf layout and decided to expand it from 25.5" to deep to 29" as that allows for double tracking up front, more room for a spur on the front and I eliminated the rear track from the design. Here’s what I have so far. However, I added pieces to the existing styrofoam base and realized there were slight differences in heights, which could be a hassle for putting on trains and track, so I tore it out and put down one whole piece of 1.5" styrofoam.
Even with just pieces being fitted into place, it’s been a lot of fun seeing things come together. The trestle I worked on earlier to just see how track would fit.

GP9 … Your N scale layout looks great.
Alvie… Your expansion of the shelf layout looks good.
As usual I’m a day late …
-Kevin - thanks for starting off WPF. I don’t have any of the exotic connectors for my simple meter(s). I’m not very electronics savy so the simple works best for me.
Ed - More exotic leads. I never knew there was such variety.
tbdanny - good looking little boxcars. Good job.
Southgate2/Dan - Great looking scratchbuilt cars!
Jimmy - Whats next? Amazing!

Alvie - Its a start.
My humble multi-meter. It replaced a $7.98 Radio Shack special that lasted for more than 20 years.
My almost 16-year old Autistic grandson loves steam engines. Here he has NYC #5335, a Hudson at the head of a double-header with Pere Marquette 2-8-4 #1235 at the head of his mixed freight.
Keep the photos and ideas coming guys. thanks to you WPF is always the best thread of the week.
