Track Laying

Image
Laid the first track in the area that will eventually be a tunnel and hidden staging yard. Glued down the roadbed material and then glued the track to the roadbed. Installed a tortoise for the main yard turnout using hot glue gun. Had to mount the tortoise off to the side since I didnt want the switch machines hanging from the bottom of the module. See the photo below for details. Tunnel Trackage West Staging Throat Tortoise Install

Profile Contoring

Image
Continued construction of west corner module. Cut contours in profile boards and added remaining riser for the paper mill spur. Beveled the risers one half inch and covered them with plaster cloth. Next step is to prepare the tunnel trackage and the hidden staging yard. Profile Contours Plaster Cloth
