New Pictures

I have uploaded some recent photos of the railroad. Nothing spectacular, but will serve as an update to the progress I have made lately. Click HERE to redirect you to the online album.

Based on some comments and excellent suggestions from fellow modellers, I am rethinking the track layout in Prophetstown. I will be making some small tweaks and will upload a revised track plan.

Thanks for stopping!

Revised/Updated Track Plan

The revised track plan for the Dragonfly Sub is shown below.

For the most part, I would consider this to be the "as-built" plans. The only exception is that the lift-out bridge... well does not lift-out, yet! (See previous post for discussion) All the track shown is in place and operational. The next step now is to begin wiring track leads from the previously installed DCC main bus line that runs under the layout.

Thanks for stopping.

All for now!

One more piece!

Between swimming with family one day and spending a fantastic day at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin with my dad (that's a topic for a whole other blog! If you are an aviation nut click HERE for some photos!), I managed to find time to work on the railroad. I have one more piece of rail to install in Prophetstown. The industrial siding will be home to Eclipse Manufacturing (see previous post).

The mainline is up and running and I have reinstalled the lift out bridge... except I did not cut the rail and roadbed. I am going to live with it as a duck under until I can't take it anymore and then I will address the situation. I didn't want to lose the head of steam I had going! I want to finish track installation and then move on installing the Lenz Set 90 DCC system!

I will post some photos of the completed track work very soon!
That's it!
