Indiana City

[IndyCity]

Hello,

i will continue here to write about my switching layout. Perhaps you remember my first thread about those 3 houses in Poughkeepsee,NY at http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic...=22&t=4576.

After a move in a new town now i have an apartment with enough space for a layout.

this is my current layout plan. The word "Tuer" means door.

After I had renovated the room, I could begin with the installation of the first segments.


This layout is 1.3m high. Among them is enough space for another layout with a German prototype.





This weekend i started soldering the next tracks.


At this point at the main line I installed a B & O CPL signal of N.J. International.
The main line is on the main "story" of the city, the old B & O line, has long been dismantled to single track and belongs to CSX.
Some of the old CPL signals are still remaining.



next step - laying the wooden ties and painting those i needed for soldering the tracks.





Last step for this weekend - first ballasting with light gray ballast for the newly maintained main line and at this point a brown ballast for the branch.





I'm curious to see how everything looks tomorrow when it is dry.
Might be a little brighter. Let's see. Perhaps some chalk powder is necessary.
