Thanks, Jez.

Today had been track laying on the plan.

On the right side the main will descend to the hidden yard level. It's a 3.5% grade.

This weekend I've done very little. The route to the staging yard is so far built and it's walls are covered with plastic sheets molded as a concrete wall.
Now I have to build the rest on this segment, before I can go on with the catenary masts.

Great progress so far!!
I really like the plan and the attention to detail in the trackwork, it really is paying off.

Sure makes me want to get back to working on a ayout...

Keep us posted on your progress and keep up the great work.

Hi Jörg,

It looks very good from what you build there.
I look forward to further steps.

Nice work

Re: Indiana City - IndyCity - 06-12-2012

Thanks.

I've taken a few days off and will use this time to build all the tracks on the existing segments. I will not be quite ready, because right on time the cork tiles are out. And new material will be hard to get.

Today the first to be complete is the main line.
With a grain extra of the Illinois Terminal the line was opened.

It's great to see a layout develop from bare walls to trains running... 2285_

You're doing a wonderful job...!! Thumbsup

Re: Indiana City - IndyCity - 06-15-2012

Thanks, GUS.

The currently most difficult construction project is finished: the double-crossing after the switch .. It lacks only the cuts and cables for the polarization. Later the whole thing will be polarizesed by a relay depending on the access switch.

Joerg:
Do you have any rejects of the crossing? An odd set like that should have a couple of replacements sitting around in case of problems.

Re: Indiana City - IndyCity - 06-17-2012

So, and almost as the end of this week's holiday a little test drive video of the intersection.

And then this picture of the intersection.

Had to see how it looks finished :
