I seem to have more time on my hands to run trains :) First one out from the West Well Lumber Co. Bringing in some logs from up country and returning a fire appliance to base. Max

You have to inform the train spotters to respect the safety distance to the track (01:20 :giggle:)
Very nice layout!
Could you please share with us a drawing of the track plan? I like the bridge section on min. 00:50

Sorry Andreas, I do not have a track plan. It's all in my head :) It's basically a folded figure "8". However, here is a picture to show the cross over between the two loops that make up the figure "8" and the bridges at their approach. Max

But read the first one as "1,500 mixed leaves, town" and thought you had a problem with leaf-fall.. :rolleyes::snooze:

And the Shay comes out to play too. Max

Hm nice vid but a little confused with the signalling, on the first lap both signals are off. But after the first circuit the right hand one after an edit is at danger. So what is the logic for the signals? To tell which way the point is facing, but they are clearly not interlocked with the point as if they were both could not be off when the point is set to the left (right when facing direction of travel). Confused.com me is.
