ceder valley & southern.

well guys i have a new N scale i have started building. the old layout just need a lot of stuff i could not give it. It was to small and i was looking for more land for the hobo to run wild on.
The new layout is 8x5 in a L shape and has a lot more room for things like a rail yard a lot more freight yards. Here are some pic's of the start. I have some trains running on it but i am going to start working on the ground layout soon. I am trying to make sure the rails are going to work out before i ballast them down. Here is a pic are two of the new world and more to come soon.





Yes i put supports in the middle i just did not get any pic's of them.









And the first loco to make a pass on the new southern line was a nice Dash8 conrail. HEHE

Any chance we could catch a glimpse of the projected track plan or has that not been etched in stone just yet?
