Mainline is in.
Will wire up, the Control Master tomorrow and test drive the layout till I know the trackwork is acceptable. Then I will do the yard,the grain elevator (it will be bigger than version 1.0) I already have the siding for Fowler's Fine Furnishings installed. :mrgreen:Oh yeah,I need to do the siding for the Bagel factory too.

Got a Mickey Mouse electrical hook up,but I got 10 smooth counter clockwise runs ,but only about 5 clockwise .Got a rail joint on a curve (no way to avoid it),but it works.

Layout is wired and operational in .Next electrical job is to install a double pole, double throw ,center off toggle switch so I can set up the NCE DCC system so the layout is dual mode with the flip of a switch.

I had a DC / DCC "master switch" too. I was always afraid to forget a DC engine on the rails when I switch to DCC and fry it.
