First New Haven layout: Upper Level, West side

Upper Level

West Side

This side holds the storage yards. They were originally going to be hidden behind a set of buildings but all my friends decided that they wanted to see my rolling stock.

In front of it is a small yard which feeds the lower level track below the elevated section and the NEBISCO complex to the right. I have now decided to run the track to the lower level from the main line as it will continue on to the new lower level with the steam servicing facility.

The white building is based on a New Haven prototype. The layout design board is going to be split and moved to more localised boards using the new NCE micro board which will allow the Tortoises to be controlled either by buttons or by the DCC system (after I fit accessory decoders).
