Well, I probably got the idea and nerve from some liquid encouragement, but saved the cutting for later.
"Brewer Yard" was my first attempt at an ISL, based on a timesaver plan, which wasn't looking very realistic after it got running so I took out some switches, and reasoned that it would represent a prototype re-alignment. But the resulting S turn, didn't look right either, even when running shorter cars and locos. Since I have a good bit of time invested in this rig, especially on the retaining wall, I plan to squeeze as much life out of it as possible. Plus I've been encouraged greatly by our brother Reinhard, and his never ending Freelance saga.
Here's a before shot for comparison.
