Started work on the “loop track” for the lower level.

The turnouts will be located right at the exit from the Helix, wrap around and then run behind the computer desk.

Not pictured is the two doors it will have go cross. I picked up a 6′ long Heavy Duty Shelf Standard. Pretty sturdy for the length. This will act as the main beam for the bridge span (thanks to Gary S. for the inspiration).

and a view where the refinery will go.

Taco Bell is just about done. Just need to finish up the signs and then paint the roof top black.

Also completed the main part to the Marathon Oil industry. Just needs a little weathering around the top of the columns and walkways.

The refinery was purchased back in New Orleans in 2004, glad to see it finally assembled. I picked Marathon Oil as the company as that was the first major project I worked on when I started my current job in 2006.

A panoramic of the layout in its current state. The lighting btw on the backdrop looks much better in person, there’s no dark spots or anything. Just something the camera is seeing.
