Just thought I'd share a couple of overall picture and a short video of my revised live steam railway layout. Tearing almost everything apart and rebuilding it into a folded dogbone type layout that I can walk into without ducking down has made a world of difference to my back. Apologies for the quality of the camera work but it doesn't seem to like the led lights very much.

Larry, that is an outstanding effort...I am into trains as well, but O guage electric Lionel...not quite as realistic as actual steam!
congrats,
Roger
Now that's the ticket .... !
Well done Larry, well done indeed!!!
I should add that I find you dark green saddle tank engine especially fetching ;c)
Having seen this rail set-up 1st hand a can tell you have done a real overhaul from what you had when I was there, nice work Larry. 😊
Wonderful layout Larry.
I hope to get to see it in person some day!
What a magnificent "man-cave"...
I love it Larry, well done!!!

And thanks to everyone else for their nice comments also. The live steam railway seems to keep drawing me back after I've gone off on another tangent as usual. I got in a hurry to set up the camera and make the video so didn't follow my usual procedure of sending a less dear loco around first to make sure the track is clear of obstructions. This almost ended in disaster but I got lucky - won't happen again! Apparently the cord came loose when I was working on the upper layout.

I have to say, that is one cool setup - like that is a next level setup!

Yes indeed, that one is a real beauty, and I expect it is a capable hauler as well.
That's a helluva train room! Beautiful locomotives! Do you have any vintage Bing or Marklin?
