Progress pics. Control panel almost done.

Intermodal & staging sections wiring completed.

Mainline, light maintenance & team tracks section wiring nearly complete.

Dreading the electrical testing/troubleshooting. Always a PITA. PaulE

Wow Paul,
You never do things by halves. Lots of rolling stock there and I'm enjoying watching it all come together.

HI PaulE I like that bit about you bit off more than your wife can chew if I said that an jen sees it I think I would be feelin the size of that new fryin pan she just bought on my head lol. But you can do it we are are rootin for you to see this railway built an fitted togeathe an goin an when problems arise have a good ole talk to your alter ego in other words yourself as I do an I find that it helps you see what the prob is an how to sort it (well it works for me lol) an as for many hrs in in the cave that for me is what modelin's all about even if it takes like my model ships an that yrs but im enjoin it as i dont drink an dont smoke so got to have something to keep busy in me ole age do id go round the bend with boredom
all best have a good xmas an 2020

Paul, I know what you mean. I have curtailed my cave activities until after the New Year. Too much going on at the moment to concentrate on moggeling. My advice, give it a rest and hit it hard in 2020. Merry Christmas Bro.

Progress pics. Only a couple of connectors to go here.

Light maint. & team track section 'dry fit' in place w/trial fit of industry.

Closer look shows another background building is likely needed.

C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

Do I know that feeling!

Highlines are nickel & old or lightly used sidings are brass rail. All are 100#. PaulE

Progress pics. Control panel/old station section 'dry fit'.

AAAHHHRRRGGGG! Something has changed. Attachment holes are not aligning on the left. Cave remodel must have changed environment.


C&Cs welcomed. PaulE

Well that's going to keep you out of trouble for a day or two isn't it ?

Superproject Paul, all those wires look scary even to a sparky like me:surprised:.

Hope all works like planned in the first go:thumb2:.
