Hi Everybody, I have been working on the track plan and its associated bench work, etc for the remainder of my layout. Originally I was going to use a type of "around the room" helix. After closer exa

Hey guys, As far as Kingfield goes, I am undaunted. PLW produced the engine house, turntable (early and late), Winter Store, car shop and I believe the powder house in S. That makes this yard way more
