Interesting design Jack. Thank you. The issue at this point is that the whole works is on the layout surface. Any pin extending off of or into the existing plate will interfere with the rails as they pass each other. Plus my operating wire is really thin. I doubt that I could notch it enough for a catch. I didn't plan very well for a center track index. I suppose I could excavate, but I'm sticking with eyeballing for now. For a layout this simple, it's proven adequate.

Sorry MrBill - I thought it was buried. I use cycle spokes wth the knob at the end epoxied to the spoke-nipple so that it can be unscrewed, and pushed in for transport.

YES!!! That's what I was trying to think of! I knew there was another name for it. Wallbang

Progress on the bumper. Plus picked up a Sharpie fine white paint pen for doing the bricks.

Could we get a close-up of that background flat brickwork please? Smile

This was my first attempt at inked on mortar. The pen is tricky to get used to.

Thanks! Is that drawn right on the matte board? Looks convincing as a stucco-ed building that is losing some of the stucco!

Yes. Right onto the painted board. I'd been thinking about trying this method for years, and am pleased with the results. Experiments continue with paint colors and washes, which is a lot of fun. I painted the long factory last nite and gave it some wash coats. Now need to re-inforce it with stripwood to control warpage, and start working on window treatments.

Base coat of deep tomato red, then washes of burnt umber and terra cotta.
