Three for Two
December 3, 2013 by markpaulson
I saw this custom built turnout for sale on eBay today, and immediately thought about the space saving it would accomplish in a very cramped corner of my layout. It was also attractive because it is built from the same Code 83 Micro Engineering track that I am using on the visible portions of the rest of my layout. Technically I’m using Peco Code 100 on the hidden staging loop, but that doesn’t count as visible. I’m using it in staging (along with numerous re-railing sections) in the hope of minimizing derailments in hard to reach places.
This revised track plan shows the three-way turnout which will replace two curved turnouts (and their total length of about 20 inches) at the entrance to the Durango yard.
I like the valuable information you provide in your articles.
I’ll bookmark your blog and check again here regularly.
I’m quite certain I will learn many new stuff right here! Good luck for
the next!

Paul, Would it be possible to see a picture of your ” back lit” background with the real mountains before them?. I’m trying to use your lighting method but am having trouble picturing how the real mountains address the flat ones.. I have foam and track down and have yet to build or finish the mountains so now’s the time . Thank you so much and I really enjoy your blog..John.
