I would think a large cement plant would have a small switcher or a gp unit to do the switching for the plant. Anyway good lunch time video.

Thanks for watching! Yes, I for sure need some 4 axle power on the layout.

The layout room? How do you get inside? I only ask this, as I have a small room, that I am going to put a layout in, about the same size, as what you have. And I do want at least 3 different levels. Got any advice, anything you would have don't different? Love this layout, thanks for sharing

Hi Mark! My layout is in the garage, and is freestanding with the exception of the expansion (that’s the NS yard and feed complex). My layout takes up half the garage. As far as getting in, it’s a duck under, the layout starts at 48” and all though ducking under at that height is not ideal, it’s still doable. I will someday just put a office chair on wheels and slide under back and forth. As for levels, 3 will be hard in a room that is small because you will have to give up height between each level if you don’t want the third level up really high. If you are set on 3, see if there is a way to make that third level on almost the second level with some elevation change and have it in the background, that way it wouldn’t be as tall. The only thing I would do different on mine is wish for a bigger space :) thanks for watching!
