Let's start this amazing tour from the very humble beginnings with completed bench work and track work.  Then watch as ideas are born and bloom into an eye popping railroad empire.

Starting at the control panel, we will move around this layout .  We also will be adding some video to "You Tube".

Starting with Jim's control panel, he can operate every switch and block and will know the direction of the switch by the LED lights.   On the control panel, Jim has laid out the mainline operations with red and blue lines.  Now with DCS and TMCC, Jim can run multi-trains on one loop of track.  The green line is the bypass track that crosses the isle entrance into the "E" bench work format.
