Thank you for following along. This extension is moving along - I have about 1/4 of track and turnouts down.

Update on the expansion: Starting the reversing wye and the curves to the South Sidings.

Yes, it is all glued down so the brad nails hold it in place until the glue dries.

Thank you for stopping by and the kind words. Once I get past this section with all the turnouts,  the progress should go faster.

[S&S RR]

Update: I opened the 4th case of cork for the expansion, this morning. I keep rotating between putting cork down, laying track and turnouts, and installing tortoise switch machines.

Thank you for the kind words.  There is certainly going to be a lot of space to store rolling stock when this is done.

I'm spending some time, today, updating my design to reflect all the changes I'm making to the track plan as I'm building the expansion.  This always happens when you let an Engineer build something. The pictures from the CAD design are going to be used for the control panels so they have to be right. I will post the final track plan when it's built and I can't make any more changes.

[S&S RR]

Okay, so it appears that I'm making a lot of changes as I build this yard. I erased the track from my CAD drawing and will be recreating it with the pictures from the build.
