Tracks are in!
It has been a while since I posted. Still working on the layout. Most of the main tracks are in, for the TT, with the exception of a few spurs that I will hand lay. Had an issue with the turnouts as Iam using Caboose Industries hand throws and they didn't mate up with the Tillig turnouts very well. Had to build styrene linkages and use tiny screws to connect them, that along with a guide base to support the linkage for each turnout. Wiring is done, just need to build a control panel. Put up the double-sided backdrop as well. I cut the plywood for the Hon3 side and supports for that. Haven't installed that yet as I made a few changes (improvements?) to the Hon3 side. I have all the cars and locos for the Narrow Gauge side, but have spent a lot of my time in the last year building TT rolling stock. Still need to paint and decal a bunch of stuff. I am taking a break from building 3f flatcars from HO Gilbert 40ft cars. They make a nice 57 ft General service flat when narrowed. Heres a few pics of various stuff. Hope to start doing scenery once I do a few roadbed supports for the high line on the TT side.
