Jeff,

I appreciate the compliment doc. This was a fun little build. You'll get yours done I'm sure. I'm retired so, I have more time than you my friend.

Quote from: deemery on February 16, 2026, 10:56:24 AMI was thinking about this last night.  Would you want to add the interlocking rods, or at least a box running alongside the track to simulate the enclosed rods?

Dave,

I was actually thinking about doing that very thing. It would help with points on the Winter Challenge. However, I just don't have the time. I do have it on the list for done the road layout improvements.

Howdy Tom,

Yet another dynamite build.  The tower looks amazing, and its placement is perfect.

Have fun,

Mike, Howdy,

Thanks very much. It does look better here than the FOS tower.

Philip,

Thanks very much. It was a small build so it didn't take to long to build.

The Inter-action desk and chair arrived a few days ago.

The instructions are in the form of photos of how the desk parts fit together. The parts fit together very well.

Through the magic of cropping and posting, the desk and chair are finished.

I have it lit on the work bench. I don't have all the wiring complete to light it on the layout.



My challenge is now complete.

The white paper on the green blotter really make the desk pop through the windows.
