And a progress shot - I'm liking the way this is coming out. I think the turntable bridge needs a railing. The turntable spins freely, and I've got the rails pretty well leveled out so things should work just fine. I'm contemplating a motor and indexing system. I've got a bunch of motors and gears I salvaged from old electronics I took apart - maybe I can get some of them to work. I've only got 3 tracks leading to the TT, so an indexing system may not be too difficult.
I did mess one thing up. If you look in the previous photo of the engine house, you can see the track in the left stall is not centered. Somehow I mis-measured. I am going to need to fix that, because the locomotives hit the side of the opening. At first this seemed like a huge problem, but the more I think about it, I think I can fix it without huge worries.
