    Well, all i need to do is get some N scale PC board ties from Caboose and i can finish this thing... [​IMG]

    It was actually pretty fun to build~

    It's not lined up correctly on that piece of tape i stuck it on(so no nitpicking yet!) and i forgot to add the guardrails for the photo! [​IMG]

    I might actually do something with this, we'll see what happens...

    Lookin' good!
    Is it totally scratch-built? Was it hard to do?
    I tried to build turnouts many years ago and was sooooo disappointed I never tried again.
    But now I'm looking at relaying the temp layout with ME code 55 they have only no.6 turnouts in their 55 range. So I need to build my own [​IMG]

    Yep, so far all from scratch. One thing that makes it easy is the Code 40 rail. Compared to larger Codes it's almost like butter to form! [​IMG]

    I basically followed the article in MR not too long ago on handlaying switches, but i've done it in HO so it's not foreign to me, so i kind of just used the article for reference and not step by step.
