Good Morning All. Thanks to everyone that stopped by during my last post. Continuing to work on the cityscape. I decided to added a spur below the elevated line. I found a curved left hand switch in my box of track parts. I still need to cut the existing track to add the switch, switch machine, etc...The elevated line had to be modified, which meant digging the parts box to find a few more truss parts. The original elevated line was built several. no many years ago. It was spray painted with Floquil green in a rattle can. Well, you know about that product. More digging and i found a small bottle of floquil green that matched the right color. WHEW!!!! I still need to cut the switch location, bore  hole for the throw rod and put it in the right place. The REA building is another story. It has sat under the layout with only three sides assembled. I found two boxes of parts for the same building and after a few hours / days, the building is complete. Well almost, i still need to add a platform to the trackside of the building. This part of the cityscape is coming together, so stay tuned.

Frank;

I just dropped in and have truly enjoyed the morning reviewing your postings. What a beautiful and well thought out layout. Now I am going to have to go back to your previous threads and enjoy the ride. Really first class.

Good Morning Jim,


Thank you for the kind words. To see more about my layout, look for my first layout thread in "Layouts" Morristown & Erie Railroad" You can also find an article in 2019 Great Model Railroads on my layout.
You re looking at 28 years of love. I try spend several hours a day in the train building.


Thank you again.

Thanks Jerry. I can't wait to get the elevated line working. The trolley will wait at a station for a TBD period of time, then move to the next station, wait again and them return. Getting close. Stay tuned.
