I Now Have The Power Supplys for the N Scale Layout

I checked in at Mountain Town Hobbies today and discovered I have paid in enough on my account to pick up the Transformer I needed to power my expanded N Scale layout. Thank god for bottle returns.

Now I am working on getting the track I need to complete the outer loop and the streight aways. Then I can think about the tables to put the track on. I still believe that it will be a few years before I can complete this project.

The Expanded N Scale Layout Progress Report

Progress on the expanded N scale layout is slower than I had hoped it would be, but I am determined to take my time to get exactly what I want. I am still in the process of buying up the track I need to get the expanded layout. I have the innerloop completed and I am working on getting the outerloop done.
I have all the locomotives I need for two freight trains, one Canadian National and one Canadian Pacific. The Canadian National Rolling stock is completed and ready to go on the track I still have a lot more Canadian Pacific rolling stock to get before I can call that train complete.

From the look of the size of the track layout I will need to build 4 4X8 tables to accomodate the layout. they will form a U shape.
