After a long time lull, and a really crappy attitude and adverse side effects of a drug I finally have started a little work on the layout.
There were track pans on the PRR main line 14 miles west of where I live at the Grafton Yards in Leetonia. I found this aerial view from 1952 on the USGS site and I am going to have pans on the two main tracks by the east yard.
I found some 3/8 polystyrene channel at the local hobby shop and glued it between the rails using PVC pipe cement (it took a while to set but is is in place really well today. )
Next will be to put the ends in and then the "water" I also want an overhead spout for locomotives without scoops.
It was nice working for a while again.
