Had a few hours to compleat the two main lines and plant a few poles.
So here we go

First three pictures show the over head being put in on a back streach.
This was going to be in a tunnel, but I am going to make a culvat at the back for the run this allows me to have a lower town maybe 2 " higher than the base for the town development, instead of 4 ".

Fist shot is now going to house the Interurban barn, in the high town.

the other shots are of the main station.
Inside tracks are overhead outside for steam/ diesel operation.
That`s it for now.

Did you mean p1010005 Jim Wink

I got that from a friend who changed to 0 scale traction.
What he did was make his own molds of every building front he bought.
He then put that together.
He wanted $10 for it. I did not show a lot of intrest Wink

just a little Shocked

When I paid up for the the great items I picked , he said you may as well take that building Cool

Are you sure says I Cool

I'll bet you pull it all together for a fantastic layout with few or no regrets. Many never really quite reach that level. Utopia in 1:87! Rock on Chris!

Did a bit of work this week and put the track in where my interurban dead end station will go.
These are the easy switch throws I make so I don`t put my big hand under the wire to throw them.
I am not to fond of electric throws when I can reach the switch. Shocked
