John,

Looking good John, that is a nice looking setup for lining up the joist. I had a similar jig from a Rusty Stumps kit but from what I can see you did a but of extra wood work to hold the jigs, great idea.
This build is going to look fantastic on your layout , can't wait to see it in place and all filled it with scenery.

The laser cut jigs are from Rusty Stumps - I found that I needed something to hold them in place while I added the joists so I made the holding fixture by running the proper thickness saw blade across a piece of 1x4. I varied the distance between the cuts so I can accommodate just about any HO size deck or loading dock. Thank you for following along and the kind comments.

Thank you for the kind words - I can't wait to see what this looks like in place on the layout.  Lots of details to add and I plan on doing most of the scenery work on the workbench before I move it to the layout. The idea is to slide it in place and patch the holes.

Thank you for the encouraging words - yes it is a huge project. Getting closer every day to seeing this on the layout.

Yesterday, I completed the wiring for Threadwell's portion of this diorama. As you will recall, all the lights were installed earlier.  I needed to build a little board to connect them all to the power supply. I got out my Light Bites folder to refresh my memory and this is the board that I came up with.

The board next to the ditch that it will fit in. The current limiters were soldiered on the work bench. Let the soldiering begin.

Completed and in the ditch.

The test - fire extinguisher in hand.  No smoke and we have light.

Time to cover the ditch - and get ready for the scenery materials and back loading dock.
