HO Scale PRR Layout Episode 36: Altoona Works Plans

I've finally started planning out Altoona Works and the coal mine. Also got more hand throws finished. Next episode will be after the benchwork is done, and hopefully I'll have Tyrone rerouted by then as well.

Thanks Muse, I hope I can make the new area look as nice as the yard seems to look! --Tyler

Hey Tyler, the yard looks awesome. Great progress. The yard looks big enough to accommodate probably all your collection or not really? Looking forward to see some train action. Have fun with the projects. Take care. - Drew

Thanks Drew, the yard can currently hold all of my freight cars excluding the coal cars. With other industries and the staging yards I'll have lots of room for all the freight cars I need. --Tyler

PENNSYLVANIA MODEL RAILROAD - that’s really nice. You’re welcome, Tyler.

You've got a full plate, but it's looking good. JD

Ambitious plans Tyler 😊 but you’ve got it all figured out. Which are you tackling first, Tyrone, the extension or both at the same time? Looks like you’ve gotten some scenery started to the left of horseshoe or did I miss it in the last update.

[@pennsylvaniamodelrailroad]

Thanks! Probably a little bit of both. I have to move the tracks in the far corner before I can build the other 2 mountains on Horseshoe Curve so I want to get that done along with the benchwork for the extension sooner rather than later. I actually haven't done any scenery on Horseshoe Curve in about a month so I'm itching to get back to work on it. Thanks for watching.
