Well... Most of us are stuck at home and we all have plenty of things to keep us busy. Here's a few things I've been working on.

Wishing you all the best during these interesting times.

And let's not forget the locomotive progress as well...

[Rob Gardner]

Very nice work, Robert! How long will your elevated track be?

Thanks Rob! It's only 60ft but it will feel like 60 miles to me... I just love having the locomotive fired up and listening to it dig in at the beginning of a run. I'm sure I'll have plenty of fun going back-n-forth. Wife thinks I'm nuts but that's probably correct on her part.

What gauge(s) is that?

[Bill Shields]

spring loaded bumpers on the ends?

[rwmorris]

What gauge(s) is that?

This will have 3.5" and 4.75". I might add a 4th rail to capture 2.5" gauge but I'm not sure if I want to deal with it. I have a 4-4-2 in 2.5" but I'm not sure if I'll go thru the ordeal of getting it ready to run.

I'll come up with something besides crashing thru the fence....

perhaps a drag cable..??

I can say that I agree with this, I have run on John Kurdzionak's 100' back and forth track and it is far more fun than it should be!

[Bill Shields]

or you could do a 'Harold' and run off the end of the track onto the ground....

ruined a perfectly good 3/4" Niagara
