Re: S Scale switching layout plan


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Michael Eldridge has built an upsized "timesaver"-style layout, "Bass Creek Junction", to accomodate the S-scale rolling stock and a small Diesel locomotive.? It is on the Bay Area S Scalers website, .? It is powered by an NCE PowerCab DCC system.? I help out with setup, operation and teardown at public events a few times a year.? There are 4 sections, with overall dimensions of 2 x 14 feet.? The website has pictures and descriptions of the events we have setup at.?

Starting with unloading our vehicles, it takes less than ONE hour to be running trains.? The operating guide takes the operator through 14 separate switching operations.? There is a link to the operating guide for the puzzle; scroll down the home page a bit to find it.? The guide includes illustrations of the overall layout.? Curious adults and their children are invited to operate a sequence or "two".? I invite everyone to check it out and ask questions. ?

I am surprised that nobody has mentioned John Allen's Time Saver puzzle.?
