Sweet!
One of my "things I'd like but probably never will get to do" would be a "big O-gauge-sized layout" but all N-gauge... How cool would a 35 x 50 foot N-gauge layout be?
Realistic sweeping curves, towns far enough apart to actually run trains between... Oh well, need a MUCH bigger house and a LOT more money... LOL!
Enjoy that layout!

Eventually the spur that heads off the board will lead to a scaled out recreation of a real yard. The former Delaware and Hudson yard in white hall New York. And then another lay out probably much larger then the 4x8

VERY cool!
I've been a sucker for model trains for 65 years! Never had the time, space or budget to enjoy it though... I held onto my Lionel 773 Hudson for many decades, and finally had to sell it to pay for meds for the wife.
Best wishes for a fantastic layout!

The other week I picked up this beauty as a non runner had it running with no parts because of unhooked wires Today I put new shoes on the trailer for it as the only ones were dry rotted well to be fair I put the larger 15 in spare from my enclosed trailer on and bought another for the boat trailer. Tomorrow the second seat fish finder electric switch box and some other goodies should be here I also had a chord of firewood delivered so Mother Nature needs to stop being bipolar and let spring begin I’m ready to fish and camp

It has bearing buddies and they are in good shape Today the parts came in so I started to mock up the dash The vacuum line for the speedo was fubar but I have a fish finder with gps so out it came The horn and nav light switches will get remounted bilge fish finder live well will all get put on the new power panel as well as some auxiliary led lights that will provide a ton of light if I decide to bow fish last fall tractor supply was clearing out some led light bars and I had to buy them all for what ever I needed them for

Well the new dash is all wired in with one open switch for now and I can actually open up 2 more if needed I have a master switch on the dash then the left switch turns on the power to the power ports and batter gauge the one next to it turns on power to the horn and running lights then an empty spot then the fish finder then the live well and the last one is the bilge

Yep spring walleye are out it’s just being able to get to them. The boat landing is clear here but there was still ice between the landing and the river. If weather is decent this weekend I may take it up to Montello the landing is clear there with access to fishing waters
