O SCALE
UPDATE ON OUR CURRENT LAYOUT AT THE CLUB
A lot of old Gargraves track including the entire old twisty yard has been replaced with MTH REALTRAX and switches.Then we added a third main line to get another train running. This is a common straight in the middle with a switch on each end to a loop of track reversing the train. The switches are auto anti-derail so the train reverses direction around the loops each time it traverses the loop. Then we added 2 small loops under the upper lever for subway cars and a small engine. They run in opposing directions. I also got the upper outside loop more level so the train there can run at a steady voltage. The Percy loop needs a power source.

Our Former Layout at 190 Glen St.
The "O" Gauge layout at our former home beneath 190 Glen st. Members were in the process of adding scenery in some of the background areas under the able direction of Don Erlenbusch. The trolley line running from the center of one loop to the other had been completed as well as work on the upgrade of the electrical control system and the permanent control panel near the center of the layout.
The town site was finished and the industrial area had a brewery, oil refinery, transfer station for containers, and an airport with a balloon ride! There were many exciting detailed scenes on the layout.
