What's New on the PRR Panhandle Division?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

OK. I was a bit confused.

Not to worry. Some are born so and some spend all their lives working to attain a state of confusion.

I'm getting closer all the time.

Sad, but remember what's to come. Good luck and I hope all goes well. Looking forward to 2.0

Thanks, Andy!

I'm not so much sad as dreading all the work.

I know that what's to come will be better thought out, better constructed, look better, and perform much better. I can't wait for that!

We're making progress! Nearly all the track is up except for about 4-5 pieces in the Hidden Storage Yard.

The backdrop was sold yesterday. It's gone.

I should hope you post this on that other forum and proclaim your wiring is magic lamp free.

Except that it isn't!

I actually used ex-magic light bulbs (from my DCS attempt) to indicate that power districts were receiving juice.



I think the new layout will also use them as well as voltmeters for each power district. I want to tell at a glance that I have power.
