Round and round...

Well, after spending all weekend finishing off the staging yard, I started on the west loop. I'm figuring this will be a 1 turn helix to climb up to the upper level. I'm giving serious thought to installing the upper section first, then linking the helix up to it. I'm still giving thought to the backdrop as well. Right now the thought is 1x2's off the back and either plastic or masonite for the backdrop.

Staging done!

With a quiet weekend and no obligations, I got to finish my staging yard this afternoon. Now to take a moment and wire it up. Maybe I'll get a train running this week....

Getting there...

Sub roadbed in.. got some of the cork and track down as well. I'm thinking of a helix on the end to get back to the upper level.

Hopefully, I'll have it up and running by the weekend.

East end staging...

Well, the east end ladder is in for staging. Thanks to my buddy Doug for the loan of his compressor, I can get a lot of benchwork done alot quicker..

Now to start installing yard tracks..

Bridge and tie gang....

So after coming home and getting to bed late, I wound waking up 3 hours later. Since I wasn't going to be able to get back to sleep, I figured I'd get the bridge in.

Now that it's in, I'll start laying track into the staging yard.
