Well I've dove into it yet again and after being in a new house for a year with no trains ive started a new railroad, this time dubbed the Walnut Creek R.R. Just like the previous RR I built ( Scenic View and Lehigh Valley West) I'll keep the thread here and one on Aristos forum, updated with new pictures and building progress. For this build I'm going completely with concrete for my roadbed which ill top off again with screenings that i had used on the previous R.R. Credit goes to Mr. Cozad for harassing me enough to do it this way. Its a pain sometimes but being we have a concrete business on the side I have nice bendable plastic forms( which youll see in my shots) that ill use for the whole build.
Heres some starter pics of what i have to work with. Roadbed looks wide since im pouring it for double-track eventually.....wont be able to do it right away but will later.
Where that little pile of grass is on the below picture is roughly where it will curve back around and go back past the shed.....its sort of an L shape layout.
