I built this turnout for a display that is used at various shows. I thought it is a good example of narrow gauge trackwork produced in the Fast Tracks fixtures, especially the “rustic” looking ties.

After looking at an old furniture factory, General store right beside a mainline, feed mill that generated its own power, 50 acre farm and countless houses, we finally bought a new house/factory!
While it isn’t any of the above cool places, the one we finally settled on still rates up there on the neat scale. It is 120 years old, and still in good shape, that is, it isn’t full of shoddy renovation attempts. Will need a bit of work, but that is made up for by its character, rural location, and ample space.
Best of all, we can move in and continue working with minimal disruption, and, finally, enough space to function!
I’ll keep my opinions of realtors to myself. Lets just say, lawyers don’t seem quite so bad anymore…..

This is the first “draft” of the two part car float I am working on. The idea is to make a single base, and mount it permanently in the modeled water, and have several removable tops. This way the float looks like it is in the water and not on top of it. Having a few tops means once the float is loaded with cars, the top can exchanged with another one, simulating different loads of off line traffic.
