Mike..You're going like a "house 'a fire"....Good to see the Unobtanium mine has found its place as it will surely provide much needed jobs in that area....
Keep those pics & videos coming.....

Well the workers all have Black lung and radiation poisoning but they are jobs (I guess)

you make it look way too easy Mike!
It's inspiring to see you just plow through like this!
one thing I forgot to ask...
on your control pannel with the track plan laid out and the switches on it... when you throw one of those switches, does it throw the turnout? So can you use either the kato or your diagram to throw points?

Luke the kato turnout controls work all the turnouts and the panel switches are for block control when in DC mode.
Thanks , Mike

cool!
Now, maybe you can answer this one...
With the Kato turnouts... if I get stationary decoders for them, do I still need to get the switches?

I have been trying to get the backdrop finished all the way around .
A new video will have to wait till next weekend.

Fantastic work Mike, You are certainly moving along at a rather rapid rate.
You have done a great job on blending the backdrop into the layout. A question if I may, the tree for thee dolls house, do you intend to cover all the smaller end branches with the "silicon" or are they left bare? If so, is the wire paintable or does the foliage hide it?
