Super O Layout Progress Thread

Lucas,
This is NOT criticism but weren't you the one that converted all of your stuff to 3R scale some time ago?
Reworked locos and cars, couplers and diesel pilots?
My guess is that you are doing what you are doing because it fits the space that is available.
You like trains and having something to play with helps keep you happy.
Good for you now. Maybe someday 3R scale or even 2R scale. Glad to see you back with models.
Have FUN.

Looks great! Needs a milk platform and car though!

On my little Super O layout (which isn't as far along as yours is...) I am planning on using 148 dwarf signals to indicate the positions of the switches. With the manual switches, it should just be a matter of attaching an outer rail to the common and the hot rail of one path of the switch to red and the hot rail of the other path to green.

Great work. Partying like it's 1959 .

Hi Roger!

Yes, I still have all my 3RS and 2-rail models, but I decided to do something different for this layout. Space was the major consideration, there's no way I can run full-scale models on a 4x8 and make it look good. The PW Lionel toy trains sure are fun, it's a new adventure for me

Lucas,
Very good. They can be fun and have few problems.
Glad to hear you still have your scale stuff.
