    Here is the overall photo of my doorpanel layout. Since this photo was taken I have added a small staging ard that extends off the upper left. I also changed the crossover in the upper right from a right-handed crossover to a lefthanded crossover.

    If you look carefully, you can see the photo-shoped area of the "art" that my wife put on there that had to be covered. ;)

    Eric, how did you run your wires? Drill through the foam and door? Also, what kind of track did you use?

    Don,

    I couldn't find a drill bit that was long and small enough for wires so I used an ice pick and a small brass tube. I first pushed the ice pick through the foam and the door. I then put the wire into the end of a brass tube and pushed the tube through the holes that the ice pick made. I first tried just pushing the wire through but I had difficulty getting it through the second door skin.

    The track is Atlas 55.

    With your crossover change, you now have two left hand crossovers?

    This is going to be a nice layout! [​IMG]

    Well at least she is involved, um or is she jealous of your time? [​IMG]

    Looks nice. Lots of running room and scenery room

    Eric that looks great! how is the trackwork running for you?

    I can already see the expansion potential off the back curve onto another door panel with a return loop.

    Is it very heavy if you have to move it?

    You've convinced me about doing the doorpanel layout. I am still waffle-ing between the C55 I already have, and purchasing Kato unitrack, but door panel for sure.

    </font>[/QUOTE]I would wager the "art" was a little prank, based on my insider knowledge of the event. lol
