Re: OsO Valley

Thank you drbnc! I figure if I'm going to do it then might as well go large within the available space.

Re: OsO Valley

Update - I have been busy with a trip to Berlin (Visited a super a train shop there, "Turberg" in Lietzenburger Str. 51. Not many American trains but I was drooling over the German OO and G scale stuff; Just fabulous although out of my price range) and an unexpected work trip to Palma last...

Re: OsO Valle

Short Update - Since getting home two weeks ago I've been pretty busy with non-train related stuff but I've managed this week to rebuild (Third time...and last!) the lower bench work. All the old stringers removed and a more traditional framework built and the old base boards re-mounted. much strong...

Re: OsO Valley

A couple of pictures during the second build of the lower deck which took place in January. You can see the underside stringers which will be removed and saved for the upper deck as I mentioned in the first post due to plywood warping. Also the far side curved base board will also get used on the up...

Re: OsO Valley

Just another update; Attached is the Upper Deck with lower deck baseboard underneath so you can see it is a much thinner footprint which will allow me easy access to the lower deck. Clearance between the two decks will be about 16 - 18 inches (40 - 45cm). I'm sure this will get revised but hopefully...

Re: OsO Valle

Quick update, a few photo's of when I was testing various things. I wanted to reduce the depth of the track deck stringers to give me a little more height underneath for storage so quickly put together my first deck with 27mm square horizontal supports. I also wanted to visually test the different r...

Re: OsO Valley

Hello all Thought I'd share my final layout design for the lower deck of the OsO Valle RR. It is N scale, very freemo and loosely based on the 1950's. The lower deck will have a very busy city feel, and the upper deck (almost finished designing it, I’ll add it soon) will be much more sparse and op...

Track Library

Hello I've been using your software and am really pleased with the product. I'm currently finalising my N scale layout design and working with mixed Peco Code 80 streamline and Kato unitrack. I've noticed the track section SL-E399F is under Peco streamline (Code 80) but I think it is Code 55. I've a...
