N scale BNSF Seattle layout...

... some progress, not much to show yet, but it's taking shape.

For the SD40-2 I chose the MRC 1806 decoder, the SD70Ace has a Digitrax SDN144K1E.
Both work fine, the Digitrax is more stable but the sound is better in the MRC, and this one is really easy to plug in. Here a poor quality footage:

Double stack well car, Athearn N scale weathered out of the box.

Container chassis

First batch completed, they are fast to build, I will cast more soon.

...they will add some color to intermodal facility.

A step back.
The BNSF Seattle layout is a N scale ( 1:160 ) fictional layout based on Seattle Washington.
The limited space at my disposal forced me to N scale, because it's the smallest that can be used with DCC and sound and the level of details is acceptable.

Here is what has been done till now:

This is a hint of the intermodal facility, I realized that a complete intermodal yard would have wasted all the available space ... so just a hint, enough to have a Mi-Jack some container chassis and a few well cars.

This part will also act as a staging yard and a junction between the two legs of the "L" shaped shelf layout.

...fictional!

It was just a question of time. I got tired of static trains ... it was time for a working layout. I managed to find enough space for a n scale shelf layout.

Here some prototypical pictures, more to come....
