DM&E HO Scale Layout Update #1

[@Rosso_Dabosso]

My grandparents live in brookings. They live between 22nd and 17th avenue crossings. We love watching the trains go through the backyard. Excited to see how this turns out!

Nice intro. I will watch your progress with interest. I model the DME also but set in 1995-96 period. You've managed to do a lot in a few months what has taken me a few years to do! My blog on the model railroad is called DME Down Under, and yes, I live in Australia. All the best, regards, Brad.

Nice work Baxter! Look forward to more updates!

DME was a very interesting railroad line. My Mother in law lives in Huron. Huron has a roundhouse, along with passager cars for the DME. The locomotives were interesting, many SD40-S along many were not painted DME, saw ex-UP, NS, and some old BN green and Santa Fe blue and yellows. I wish I took pictures. Huron has a turntable at the locomotive shops. Great layout, can't wait to see it finished.

Nice work, Baxter!

Hey Baxter I really like this plan as I have a similar space. Were there any lessons learned from your experience as I note you changed to a new layout style at some point.

Great video looks to be interesting in the switching. Nice job. How big is your layout and what's the radius on the curves. Look forward to more videos

Layout is 9.75 feet by 20.25 feet, minimum mainline radius is 22 inches, and most curves are 24.

Nice update, are you done with FEC out of curiosity...

[@ns_6963]

I still have all my FEC power and I'm still a member of the FECRS, I just don't model it anymore.

If only the DM&E still was its own company, and if I still lived in Rapid City, SD and not a BNSF-ish fan.....

I'm pre-ordering the mount-rushmore sd40-2 now.
