HO 80s/90s CSX, NS, & Conrail layout resurrection.

My first Hornby 3 rail could be run using a large battery, which didn't last long.:smiling3: The track came was oval, it was great fun adding to it each birthday and Christmas. At least the family knew what to buy.

Maintenance Of Way yard. Term applies to storage area for tools, & materials for maintenance of RR property, track, electronics, etc. Rolling stock first & maybe second level maintenance can sometimes be performed at these locations. PaulE

WELL PaulE thats something ive learned today cheers more pics please an is there a open an closein hatch any where at the back of the layout as i found on my layout it was a heck of a job to get right to the back of the layout when i wanted to clean the track as my ole ZERO 1 COMPUTER would not run the trains if a dirty pickup on the tracks

I can reach all but about a foot of the rearmost industrial sidings where no loco goes. I've found cleaning the wheels of the locos is waaaay more problematic than keeping track clean. PaulE

YEA Paul i had that problem an i used meths to clean my wheels an have you got a eletric track cleaner in your layout as i never did but when i went to M/R SHOWS an say its very good not sure how it works but one guy said the unit sends a negitive eletric pulse through the tracks an it repels the dust

Waiting on North Wall backdrops from Walthers before mounting refinery module so MOW module will come first. PaulE
 
Great photos Paul, that's certainly some size . Glad Chris asked you what MOW was , I'm another that was wondering.:smiling3:
 
MOW looks good Paul........made a small cradle years ago with 1X4s and Felt cloth, used an old power pack to drive the loco wheels while inverted and went after the wheels with a "Brite Boy".....done in minutes. Rick H.
