Carbon Corner shelf layout

Been a while. Layout is still active though. Taking it on the road today to entertain my young nephews with after supper.
Finally got the rails re-worked on the bumper and it's all glued down now. Happy holidays all.

Decided to connect both current layouts. Makes for a more interesting ISL.

Re; the track re-alignment. Was this done before or after joining the brewers for a sampling of some brewskis?

Well, I probably got the idea and nerve from some liquid encouragement, but saved the cutting for later.
"Brewer Yard" was my first attempt at an ISL, based on a timesaver plan, which wasn't looking very realistic after it got running so I took out some switches, and reasoned that it would represent a prototype re-alignment. But the resulting S turn, didn't look right either, even when running shorter cars and locos. Since I have a good bit of time invested in this rig, especially on the retaining wall, I plan to squeeze as much life out of it as possible. Plus I've been encouraged greatly by our brother Reinhard, and his never ending Freelance saga.
Here's a before shot for comparison.

below grade switch machine installation:

Module connection joint. Rails will get soldered to the brass screws and then cut at the seam.

After a move and lenghthy hiatus, my trusty layout here soldiers on. Got the center 2 yard tracks re-glued down, and got the coal yard bridge piers put together. They're hand embossed balsa with carved adhesive on the ends. I work it as it dries...

Moving house does tend to knock the stuffing out of one's enthusiasm for things.
