Yesterday, I started laying the track for the yard.  I'm spreading all the turnouts out on the plywood to see if I want to make any changes.

Also, cut the hole for passage into the hall way.  I cut one stud and decide to change the track configuration to keep from cutting any more. This hole will be covered by the upper level on one side but I'm working on ways to disguise it on both sides.

Honestly you can't get any better then this. I came here last December and been amazed by all the work you (John) and the other guys and woman can do here. I read about 80% of your work John and other's. Member's like you and other's are the reason why RR modeling is still alive. Dennis B

Nice progress, John.

Best to keep some timber in the walls...

Cheers, Mark.

Yes it is, even if it's only holding up the dry wall.  I showed my wife how easy it is to fix them if we ever decided to move. I'm not planning on it.  ;)

Update: Laying track in the new section.  It's amazing how fast a tortoise machine goes in when it's only a few inches under the benchwork - easily with-in reach as you line things up. I will take some progress pictures tomorrow - so far the track plan from the computer is working out pretty good, only a few minor changes.

It looks like we lost a few days in the server change over.  I will work on getting some update photographs on the expansion project.

Updates are on hold until the administrator can fix a data base error with the picture gallery. I can only post words with no pictures. The S&S RR is standing by until we get that troublesome box full of switches working properly.
