It's been another long break...

Life has a funny way of getting in the way of what you'd like to do. But once in a while you do get to do the things you want to as well...

Spent a good bit of time working on the passenger lines in and out of the station:


I guess this will be "Track 1". Behind the heavyweights is the other platform, just laid in place to see what it looked like. The other platform will go on top of the cork you see between the tracks...

You can get an idea of what I'm working on. There are thirteen cars in the Santa Fe train, and the platform is (barely) long enough for it all.

I also roughed in the second main line on the west end, but didn't fasten down the turnout or track this side of it, as I'd like this one to be powered. Another project for another day, but getting closer to having two lines running at once.

It looks like there is a jog in the track (2nd from right), but it's an illusion; I rolled two Maxi Stacks through it at speed to test it, and at the turnout it looks fine. Also one of the last of my old track. Have to break down and buy some more very soon.



More to follow!
