My Layout

My HO Scale Layout Continued 2

After all the track was laid, all the DCC track wiring done. At this point I painted all the ties and the rail sides. I should have done the engine house pit and the Dwarf Signals wiring first. Now I have to clean the rail with alcohol where any other wiring is needed on the rail. All the switch ground throw and side mounted switch machines need to be installed before any ballasting can be done.

The two tracks on the right side of the yard are for locomotives and a engine house. On one of the tracks I installed a pit and added 2 LED lights on one side


  

Here is a demo 2-stall engine house I made for this. Standard spacing between the 2 tracks made with track tool also in the yard too.
I sold this demo engine house, I will be making a new different style 2-stall engine house.



This layout uses a Digitrax control system.



I was told it could not be done but "if there is a will, there is a way" and I did it. When I installed my JMRI setup I was told I would not be able to use the Digitrak Program feature again. Well I was able to figure it out, a way to use both. These small toggle switches have a ON and ON only both ways. I used two of these switches on this project. (see photo images)
