Ever since it appeared, non-DCC equipped SW-1 #22 has been derailing on the elevator switch at The Humongous Company. If Robin wasn't in the photo to counterbalance it, the engine may not even run!

The construction of it is in great detail here: http://www.lanestrains.com/S_Scale_Modules.htm It is: 24" x 20 feet - 2) 4 foot sections & 2) 6 foot sections Benchwork is 100% constructed from birch plywood 2 tracks to 8 and back to 2 built to S Mod track standards All track is code 100 hand laid. I will NEVER do that again! All turnouts are #6 except the 2 main line crossovers are #8. Everything will run on it! 19 turnouts total. It is currently still S-Mod compatible meaning it can go DC or DCC. We have run DCC on it just fine as is but set everything to 1 cab. There are 4 cabs total. The beauty is you can shut down the individual blocks and see it all from the control panel. The control panel folds up into a suitcase. All turnouts are powered but this is currently the weak part. They are twin coil that don't have the power to consistently throw. They should be replaced with stall motors. I am currently in love with the Hankscraft motors It was self contained meaning I used to supply the power for the set up of the day. Some things have been swapped to my home layout. It is designed to be moveable. I could have it set up and trains running virtually unassisted in 1 hour flat only using needle nose pliers and a small screwdriver. It is all in the design to make set up quick and painless. You never have to take legs off. They fold up inside. You don't need bridge rails for the interior joints. There are 3 bridge rail sections. It is sceniced and ballasted. The bakers racks come with it. I have had it fit in my 2 vehicles since building it, a 1988 Bronco II and my 2003 Escape. You obviously don't have to take it on the road. It is an instant yard expansion or staging yard that can be run on the day you get it. There is ZERO chance it can be shipped and not expect damage. I will not even try. I do not have a price set. It was many hundreds of hours to build. If needed, you can pay for it now and pick up whenever you get to South Jersey. It is not in my way.
