Carl,
Great Layout. I am using your layout & RM feature as inspiration to finally stumble to 'looking realistic' peer pressure and have decided to build my own OLE on my layout that is under construction as I speak. Just finished baseboards and track laying underway.
It will be a 2005 is era and will feature a will feature the 350s, upcoming Bachmann 90 and Hornby pendolinos. It is a twin track mainline with a full loop, fiddle yard and townscene of about 10ftx6ft total.
I have not got a blog on here yet but will start one once track is laid and basic electrics are up and running.
