La Ciénaga Switch - my entry to TVNAM - set in a low-lying area of Miami that has seems to have been missed by both Lance and Google, largely on backfilled land, though it still gets waterlogged in heavy rain (the name means "the Swamp") It is (mis-) pronounced by local rails as LACKINGAH SWITCH(I love bi-lingual puns) and has no switches - only two sector plates. Left hand sector plate feeds all three tracks - the right hand one feeds the centre track only. Based on Tom Lloyds 13th Avenue, Miami from MTI, it has gone up a scale from N to HO, and grown an extra spur feeding Miami Waste Paper at the back - it may still be a work in progress at the show but I hope it will be more or less complete scenically - photos taken this morning - the weather has not been kind this year - six weeks to go!

Should be interesting, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this.
An ideal subject for an exhibition layout with it's potential for operation, Jack.

I think you're cutting it fine though if it's to be ready for the forthcoming TVNAM. Will watch with interest.
