Yard Work, Model Railroad Style...

It seems like it has been a long time, between having to find a new job, being sick with the flu, and the weather making it a bit too cold to do anything productive. But in my efforts to make good from bad, I put the gift I as given by my colleagues when laid off from my job to good use and purchased most of the track I would need to finish the yard area.

Three boxes of Peco flex may have been overkill. But it DOES mean I can look to do something “with it”…

Progress:

The caboose and auxiliary tracks have been put in, except for the #2 drill track, as I was short a turnout.

The pinned tracks are in place to plot the location of the cork. This way I can visualize where the tracks will be and decide if I like the location and placement.

The through tracks are all in place, and the pins are are holding the track in place while the glue dries.

And to make more progress on the next visit: It looks like the happy birthday fairy blessed me with all the turnouts I need to finish the loco servicing area real soon.

Time to look at details: since I can't go to a hobby shop and see them, what are your thoughts on the fuel and water products offers? I've got a Stewart Product double track sanding tower, so looking at Stewart Products, American Limited, Walther's, and JV Models. Any other manufacturers?

Edit: Well, so much for on-line ordering lol; in place of seven N turnouts I got seven HO/OO. The packing slip has the N product numbers, so worst case I have hostages lol...
