Appalachian Southern

Here are some of the finishing touches on version 8, but I just now realized that I left out some switches needed between the two mains to work the city areas and stub ended yards.  I still need to add the city and industry names for both levels. Still plenty to do.

Version 8 Upper Level

Here is version 7 of the upper level plan. Looking good. Click for a larger image.

Sorry for skipping versions 1 through 4 of the upper level track plan. They actually didn’t have a very long half-life. Anyway, here is a rough layout of the upper level. Subject to change of course.  Click the image for a larger version.

Upper Level Version 5

This will be the last version of the evening. Getting late here. Thanks for all the help Mike.

Version 13

Ok, I screwed up on version 11, but version 12 changes everything and just might work… Click for larger.

Version 12

Here is another idea, maybe good, maybe not.

Oops. I see a problem. Laughing at myself…..

Version 11

I have been struggling with the modifications made below. I think I have it worked out now and like the results. This was an idea proposed by Jamie of CSX Dixie Line. This may not be the final revision, but it is getting pretty close for the main level. I like the double ended staging. The two walk-through sections are not the best, but I think I can link the lift up sections so they will come up together to provide access to the layout. Now, I need to get the classification yard in and should be in business for the main level.  I am using Empire Express for the track design. Pretty nifty application.

As usual, you can click the image for a larger version of the plan.

Version 10

Here is version 9. Added the mountainous section and tunnel.  I have got to get to work on the yard design for the top section.  As usual, click for a larger version.

Version 9

The main level is really starting to take shape now. Thanks to Mike at Owens Valley Sub for his help and  for his creative ideas.  Click for a larger version
