Evil man is baiting his traps.

 

I love this thread.


Oh, and title updated.

 

Why do I get the thought that this is running through their mind as they reply with "cute" and look for the door?

 

Updated title made me chuckle. Well done sir!

 

Last year I stopped at this point with the On30 layout.


Decided I didn't like it so dismantled a fairly large portion of it yesterday and going for a new design.
Currently back to flat, there will be no tunnels or bridges but there will be a small amount of terrain elevation here and there.
This new design will allow a much longer reverse track, which (the shorter version) was causing issues on the original design.

 

We demand mountains and lotsa of tunnels, how else are you going to incorporate the skipping off into the clouds scene?

 

5 hours later, I ended up with this design.

 

Come on Brett you know you want to do this.

 

I just don't have the room.

 

You have the room...just get rid of that damn couch and TV.

 

Maybe later, have actually given this serious thought.

 

Yeah I am still convincing the wife to let me get the N gauge stuff from my parents and start setting up a room. She has concerns. LOL!

 

A Colorado member was on the Georgetown loop earlier today and this happened to a car 3 behind them.

 

How?

 

So got the full story. This was right as they left the bottom station on the way to the top. Engine is at the bottom pushing backwards. That was one of the small cars leading the backwards push. Probably hit some snow buildup and derailed. It did have people in it. Apparently only minor injuries.

 

OMG. Thanks for sharing.

Weird, the car's frame came unattached from the wheels, which are still sitting on the rails.
