After the cold

I have my cold weather issues finally taken care of. Since some of them were in Orrington I took that down time to make the changes that I have been wanting to do. There is now a cross over to help running around the train. Most trains stopping here will not have to switch on the main.

I made the storage track stub ended and moved some turnouts so you don't have to move boxcars to get to the other end of the plant.

And classy new laser etched control panel. Thanks to Bill Raymond for the help.

Cold weather issues



The weekend session in the cold weather proved to be a challenge. The cold weather caused a bit of damage that was not found in time. We were able to work our way through the session, but as an owner a bit stressful.

There were issues in Rigby, Brunswick, Orrington and the helix to Saint Albans. The Brunswick and Rigby issues are fixed. Orringtone issues are cobbled together, but I figured that I already had changes to the track plan in mind, so time to fix it. Parts on order.

The helix will be tougher. It will either have to be removed to be fixed or come up with a new idea. Trying to figure that out now.

Remember……Model Railroading is fun.
