Sean, he only needs about 5 foot… Everything seems larger in pictures/film… (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
Did you borrow Andy’s hydraulic track stretcher …
WOW … that looks great !!!
Morning Matt,
.
Fantastic Work! I can see that “the Virus” has impacted you. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)I’ve always like the ladder method for track foundation. What are your plans for cutting grass and maintenance inside the loop? Can you drive your lawnmower over the ladder track without impact?
Looks good Matt. Did you borrow (hehe) a few of Andy’s excess cars for that run.(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
Hide this from Rooster, he’ll just want to run Amtrash on it
Thanks Sean!
Morning Ric!! Thank you!! Yeah, virus has me busy…working on hobbies. haha. I got the expansion done in a week compared to it probably taking me all summer with my day job slowing me down. I like this ladder system too. I wish I would have done that on the original part of the layout. But, it’s just floating track. It does quite well, but does require some track maintenance occasionally. I actually push mow my yard. So, it is simple to mow. I mowed it yesterday. I’ll spray ground clear(rm-43 from rural king), between the ladder to keep the grass from coming up between the rails.
Thanks Dave! Nope they are mine. Somehow Andy’s cars all stay clean. lol!
Wow Matt , the railroad looks great. That’s a lot of real estate to work with . Now you need a couple of passing sidings , a small yard along the back fence etc. It’s always fun spending other peoples money.
Matt, the addition looks fantastic…
You are going to have a lot of fun running it…
Thanks Mike! I have a few ideas that I would like to do, but for now…I’ll just run some long trains. I’ve been missing your youtube vids man!!!
Thanks Andy!!!
What Matt really needs to do is get that bridge installed…
Then we can run trains in opposite directions and play like
the Addams Family… hehehe (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

You’re dead right on all that, James. I’d love to see a little of what you’re working on if you get a chance.
