Today, I got on a roll with the Mackenzie build.  I finished the bracing on the main structure and finished scribing the concrete wall section. Then I started gluing the concrete wall sections to the base board. I made a few minor changes to make the wall sections fit the location on my layout. I also added a wood section that will help fit the build into the layout. This following few pictures describes the build sequence.


Final location established.

Today, I decided to tackle the trestle radius problem that I posted a few weeks back.  I have been dreading this job - I hate redo's.


Just to remind everyone I got to cute with an S curve between the two Mt. Aiden trestles and have had some problems with derails with the big steam locomotives. I need to remove the S curve - even though I stuck to a 28 inch radius and have a 3 inch straight between the two radii - it just to much for the big guys.


So today, I removed the track off the small trestle without having any problems with damaging the trestle. I have a plan on the repair - but what I didn't do is take a picture.  I'm going to be working on an outside project for the next couple of days but when I return to the layout I will take some progress pictures.

I managed to get a few hours at the workbench this morning before I started all my outside chores.  Added the support pilers for the structure on the Mackenzie build.

I also applied a coat of primer to the cement work.
