Last night I was able to get the tracks of the dual gauge, thoroughly spiked down through the end curves that will become permanently inaccessible, once the covering scenery is in place. I also got the mainline tracks soldered ( for continuity ) and all the adjustments made for reliable operation. Ran the first trains under power, and found just a few areas that needed further attention.
Ballasting can now be done, and scenery started.
Found out that not all commercial stripwood is cut exactly "square".....have to redo the pilings and platform for the tender's shack.
Camera died on the first shot, too late for a charge, so camera batteries are charging now. Pictures later.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
