Still Progressing

All has not been quite, though the progress is sometimes only slightly forward.


Over the last few weeks I have focused on adding additional power blocks to allow the running of multiple trains, or at least run trains on both loops, independently. Sometimes I do think it would have been easier to do this from the onset, rather than quickly run temporary wiring to run trains, but the whole point IS to have fun, isn't it.


At present, I'm focusing on getting the main line and passenger station area fully and properly wired before moving on to the freight yard construction. This will also involve the addition of a few more turnouts, to complete some badly needed crossovers, but not necessarily motorizing them yet.


All control blocks will allow the choice of DC or DCC power, though I have not considered a facility for multiple DC controllers. One option lies with CMRI's Train Brain, but that will be some ways off if at all.


More to follow during the Christmas break!
