Started laying Track yesterday for the other table of Yards & finished up by Noon today. 4-27-24 I lined up the 2 tables with a turnout at the end of the new Yard as you can see by using a 5ft Ruler in case I decide to build a bridge to tie the 2 yards together as in Picture #2.

Added a Paint Shop to the New Yards next to the Maint. Shop. It's 5&1/2 wide by 5&1/2 high by 13" long. I also added 2 more rails for the paint shop & 2 more ground throws. I also drilled 7 holes on each side of the table for 14 Blocks. 4-26-24

Been working 4 days hooking up turnout switches & cutting track for 18 blocks in front of & beside the engine shed. Then I hooked up 4 turnout switches & blocks for the passenger station & 8 more for other blocks. Takes a long time when you work by yourself.

Who's running his group Now?

Started making a Fueling rack for engines this week too. Still need to make an overhead sanding rack w/downspouts. Then will have to buy some small rubber rope to use for hoses at each pump. What do you all think?
