Staging Test

May 28th, 2008

It’s a needs a little work still. Have to redo Track #1. You can see that it kinda kicks in a little at the very back. I apparently kicked it in a little too much and trains will overhang on track 2.

The walls will be painted on the outside and inside, track ballasted, and some caboose industry ground throws installed. Because of the way it’s constructed there’s no room for tortoise control.

Not a whole lot of changes since the last update. I finished the mainline on the lower level and began fiddling with the staging bridge. It works pretty well.

This weekend I’m gonna get some hobby pine board to glue to the side for protection againt stuff falling off. I also added a switch to turn power on/off to the staging tracks.
