I've been making sisal rope pine trees for four weeks and just had to give it a rest :O I've got my Computer Model Railroad Interace (CMRI) all working now too, so I've got working signals all over the layout. This is way-cool! I'm headed for an open house sometime in the next few months. I'm a member of the Boeing Employees Model Railroad club here in St. Louis, so I'll have some of those guys over for sure.
Here's seven shots I took today, since it's raining and just down right nasty outside.

#1 - A freight train enters Oakridge headed uphill. I've gotten used to calling out directions on my railroad as uphill and downhill, rather than north or south. At Oakridge trains add rear-end helpers to make it up the hill to Cascade Summit. They drop the helpers at Cascade Summit, where they head back down the hill to Oakridge.
#2 - Another shot of the freight entering Oakridge showing the entrance signals.
#3 - There is a work crew moving ties around at Westfir. I'm sure they won't get run over by the train, since they're made of plastic!
#4 - Splitting the signals after crossing the Willamette River at Eugene, Oregon
