Here is what I have been doing. I got the new Main control panel done and converted over from the Kato controls. One of the Amphenol connectors is male from the panel to a connector block and on to the blocks for DC operation and the other is a female to a connector block for the Turnouts. The small 4 conductor wire and plug merely extend the Leds in the MRC wireless to the panel face. Also got the PowerPax connected to the program track.
There is a lot of new wire under the table you cannot see for all of this as well.

That control panel is impressive to to say the least. Also love all the Santa Fe stuff, especially the cabooses.

I have been working on getting the bus depot and adjoining Ridley Hotel done and their parking lots and foreground paving in as well as the back alley in the downtown done and track ballast in that area as well. I have also put the Model Tech Studios Hobo shacks under the bridge and will install people likely today.
Here is what I have so far and is nearly complete.









Thanks to all following the ACTRR progress.

WoW..!! Great to see that train running..!! Looks like you're just about finished with that layout. It's just plain great...

I wouldn't worry about "updating" when you haul out the modern iron...I see them all the time downtown, which dates to the 40's....Maybe just swapping the cars for some more modern ones.

But I would put a cabbie on the end...No matter what the era....
