I've been working on some small video projects the last week so I haven't made a whole lot of progress on the layout lately. Hopefully this weekend I can finish up the mainline on the Marigny side and move over to Elmwood. Hi Marty,

Thanks for the compliments.

I’ve been working on some small video projects the last week so I haven’t made a whole lot of progress on the layout lately. Hopefully this weekend I can finish up the mainline on the Marigny side and move over to Elmwood.

I just finished my benchwork last night. I used the open grid style. Plus my layout will only be 8ft long instead of 9ft(I have a small room). I liked the way you inserted a switch on the one side of the layout. I also will be inserting a switch on this side, however it will go towards the scenic divider. The switch will lead to a coal mine loadout. Your wiring looks terrific! I like the way you used the communications bracket for the electronics. Eventually I will add signals. I was able to use the Kato track I already had to finish the main line. I will be using other track for the sidings and yards. Keep up the great work! Marty Shaun,

As you have probably seen (if you've spent any time in the Feliciana Parishes, for instance) rivers and bayous seldom have the same size banks on both sides. Often one is a steep bluff (think Vicksburg) with a much lower other bank. So without knowing it, you've actually upped the realism of your layout. Can't wait to see the first video of trains running! Shaun,
