Dave,

I like the looks of your track plan.

I've always done things differently. Some overall idea, but found out careful drawings usually do not translate directly to benchwork.

How we did the outdoor line. Mother Nature and all...how do you get around this 18" tree? Bridge this gap to allow rainwater to flow?

Anyway, there are a couple of spots could have been "neater" had I had more RH double curve switches. But it worked.

Fitting Caboose Industries 208S ground throws next in the yard. Try to wire it up to the new (old) control panel, get the All-Trol connected....toggles at each end of the panel for local and remote....and ballast after wiring...loose. NOT getting into gluing it down again.

Which brings to mind the old quip: Looks good on Paper!

Looks better in 3D!

Looks like a lot of enjoyment in that basement...nice to see your work Dave.

Ran a freight on the new outer loop section (no liftouts installed), and a couple of A-N NW's on the inner.

Wiring progressing, old trackwork being fixed/removed/realigned for use with the new layout.

Control panel has new toggles in and wired, need to get the striping in this weekend.

Then wire the new yard. Then mount the under table switches.

Dave - are you the same Dave that sent me NP decals for my Challenger two decades ago? If so, thanks again. It still brings a smile to my face!

Might be. I still have your address!
