Superior & Seattle Railroad Build

[S&S RR]

Nice work John. On the picture you posted in the baggage car this morning, I thought the brick work on the building is the best I have seen. Well done.

Curt


Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks - I'm really looking forward to seeing one of my Narrow Gauge locomotives go across it.

Thanks for stopping by and the kind words.  I went to my local Hobby Shop today to buy some styrene for gluing templates for my snow sheds and locomotive works. My next two build projects.

Me too!  I have about a weeks worth of wiring to complete and then I will be moving on to installing both of the HOn3 Trestles.

[S&S RR]

Good news on the wiring project.  I have 80% of the wiring complete and tested.  Now for the final push to complete it.

If you are anything like me, you are really excited to be finishing up with the wiring .

Yes - It gets boring after 100's of hours.    It's not difficult, just time consuming.  I have broke my layout into power districts, and the power districts are broken into blocks so it's more complex job.  It is definitely worth it in the end if you have to find a short.

I know that feeling well guys.    It took quite some time to completely wire my layout for the track, switches, signals, etc. etc.

Stay cool and run steam.........

Thanks for stopping by the thread.  I'm getting close on the track work. Turnouts and signals are in my future.

[S&S RR]

Tonight, I ran both a steam and diesel locomotive to the half way point and back on the upper two levels of the layout.   So far so good.  I should get the power to about another third of the layout this week. More wiring.

[S&S RR]

The reversing loops are now operational so I can run trains on all of the track that has been put down.  Now for the final stretch with the helix so I can go between levels.    Making progress.

Congratulations on the milestone. I know how great that feels.

Thanks Curt


It really does - I will be chasing my issues list for awhile but at least I can run a train. I'm really looking forward to getting back to structure building and scenery.
