Model Railroading > Laying track, the hard wayDate: 11/09/10 14:18 Laying track, the hard way Author: WrongWayMurphy Old loop on the left, new loop about to be laid down.
My mission, get the track through this briar patch. The chain saw is my friend ..... but then, so is a Lone Star longneck.    Date: 11/09/10 14:27 Re: Laying track, the hard way Author: WrongWayMurphy Progress slowly but surely
Tom makes a cut - I don't care where your are from - this is work! Ballasted loop taking shape    Date: 11/09/10 14:37 Re: Laying track, the hard way Author: WrongWayMurphy Nice easement through "Murphy's Cut"
Testing 1-2-3 - the fun part Git you some of this!    Date: 11/09/10 15:13 Re: Laying track, the hard way Author: espeeboy Looks like a LOT of fun, even with the briar patch parting of seas! Looks like you were very productive. What's the reason for the newer wider loop?
Date: 11/09/10 15:18 Re: Laying track, the hard way Author: BlackWidow Where is this?

Go, go! ... that way the world won't ever have to put up with another Texas president. Ooops! (that slipped out) ... I meant to say I really like your miniature Railroad. Rick Date: 11/09/10 20:15 Re: Laying track, the hard way Author: BlackWidow I knew the pictures were from Texas, because of ArgyleEagle, but Texas is a big place. Judging from the background, it could be Zube Park near Houston, but I don't think so.

Date: 11/10/10 06:46 Re: Laying track, the hard way Author: tomstp Answers to questions AE failed to answer. Ballast about 3" to 5" deep but will vary due to depressions in the ground. Rock size, anywhere from 1/2" to 1".
Date: 11/10/10 07:42 Re: Laying track, the hard way Author: TCnR That doesn't look like code 83 track, I guess everything is bigger in Texas.
Doesn't look like Rod Stewart either... Great fun. Date: 11/11/10 08:10 Re: Laying track, the hard way Author: xtra1188w ArgyleEagle Wrote:

Bad stuff! So was Pearl.
