hello to all...i am in the process of tearing down my layout...this is a follow up video to ERIC HALL"S (IMRRO,com) video that was done the day on the before. unfortuneately i am not able to upload the video we did together but Eric will be posting the edited version on his channel in about 3-4 weeks.we had a little bit of fun while doing the vid. so, if you have not subscribed to his channel, check him out & subscribe.. he has lots of great stuff & how to's. posted
i want to thank Eric for making the 40 mile drive to document my final run & a final look at my layout
this video is #2 of my progress of tearing down my layout.( it is a follow up to Erics video ).this video shows all the structures off the layout & packed away except for one ( need a box) it also shows the final run back to Mobest yard. of corse my layout didn't let me down, i had a derailment in the last 2 feet of the run ( i did not delete the derailment)...the cause is from unsecured points ( no tortoise or groung throws)
stay tuned for more on my tear down vids
thanks for watching & as always comments, subs & questions are welcome

NEW TRACK PLAN FOR MY PEAVINE SUB

hello to all
i am currently in the process of buying a home. while i am waiting for all the papers to be signed, inspection & appraisal to be done, i have occupied myself by drawing up a new track plan for my BNSF Peavine sub. this layout will occupy 2 rooms 1 bedroom & the den that is adjacent to the bedroom.the bedroom measures 11ft.x 11ft & the dens common wall ( with the bedroom) measures 11ft x 9.5 ft w & the final measurement is the left wall of the den @ 13 ft. i intend to go through the wall that separates the 2 rooms giving me a run of approximately 19 ft.on the lower level & the same with the upper level.
i am attaching the drawings of my new track plan to get some comments & suggestions. i am using ME code 55 flex track & a combo of Atlas & ME turnouts. the scale of the drawing is 1 inch = 1 Ft. & is not 100% accurate. i will be using a helix kit that i will be purchasing from an ebay vender. the helix is built for double main line with an out side radius of 16.5" & inside radius of 15" @ a 2% grade. spacing between levels = 2". measurement of the kit = 36" by 15".
so here are the pics...let me know what you all think

thanks ...vinny

this past week i purchased a digitrax UR90, digitrax UT4 & a DN163K1C from yankee dabbler. i switched to DCC about 5 years ago. after dealing with many venders on ebay i found Bob from yankee dabbler & i have been with him ever since. his service, shipping & prices are great.so i decided to give him a shout out & thank you.  here is his web site check him out at

TANKS BY LAYOUT CONCEPTS

TO ALL
THERE ARE 49 STORAGE VESSELS ON MY LAYOUT. THIS IS A SHORT SLIDE SHOW OF THE TANKS THAT LAYOUT CONCEPTS ( ELVIN HOWLAND) HAS MADE FOR ME. IF YOU NEED ANY TANKS CONTACT ELVIN AT LAYOUTCONCEPTS@YAHOO.COM

this is a 15 minute video on my solo op sesssion. the work begins at Mobest yard with a pair of life like / proto gp60's equipped with digitrax decoders & hauling 7 cars to be switched in N. Glendale. the  momentum on these locos still need to be programmed, so my coupleing is a little harsh. hope you enjoy the video. i look forward to your comments

thanks for watching !!!
