Looking back North -

I'm going to build FSM Dexter's Dead End in this location. The three buildings need real estate measuring 10" X 20".

More in a few.

Dexter's will be modified as I need it to look more like it fits in the South. The walls will be changed and not have the Campbell's shingles on the front or sides.

I had a conversation with the A&S RR Ticket Agent this afternoon.

We decided to make one change to the track plan. A minor change with a bigger impact on the switching options.

The area is to the right of the box car.

I was planning on having a station with two side platforms to service both tracks. Good idea in theory but not so good in practice.

I cut in a right hand turnout on the inside and a left hand turnout on the outside track.

A section of pink foam board was removed so a piece of cork roadbed could be installed to give the turnout some support over the transition area.

Back in a few.

I did the same on the outside track.

I have the FSM freight station and will use it as the structure here. I built this FSM kit some 35 years ago.

I'm going to redo the roof, get rid of the shingles and add rolled roofing the the two main roofs and repaint the freight deck roof.

Some other repairs need to be made to bring the structure up to code to satisfy the corrupt Tahope council.
