Scenery coming for the loop

The loop over Rigby is now covered. It will be either a small town or a farm.

Rigby Work

With some help from Kenny Mann, I got 10 of 11 tortoises installed in Rigby. Most of them has been tested. Some minor adjustments will be needed but I'm close to getting this done.

Upper Fascia complete

About 85' of fascia installed on the upper level. This makes the upper level fascia complete. I also got a lot of plaster down in the single loop above Rigby.

Open House

Ready for an open house tomorrow after the Carolina Mountain Division Meeting.

And then I get back to construction.

New Trains and Changes

1. Passenger and Commuter Service will start.
2. 1st class trains will follow a schedule
3. Train 88 will now deliver the empties to the Dairies.
4. SB, BS trains no longer exist. The local out of Brunswick (BW) will turn at Wiscasset (WB) and go back to Brunswick. Switching should be trailing point only at your discretion.
5. The trains that go to or from St. Albans through Brunswick (AB, BA, AR or RA) will now work Belfast. Southbound will work the team track. Northbound will work Easton Mill. The waybills have been changed so that can work. In Brunswick you will need to block the Belfast cars behind the engine to keep from switching on the helix.
6. Removed references to what track you terminate on except for the SAN trains that go out and come back to the same track.
7. Removed references to any Wood Job train stopping in the yards. If there is ever a misrouted car, we can deal with it separately.
8. Train Schedules have been modified to get all of the new trains in.
9. Hopefully all paperwork has been modified to meet everyone's needs. Train schedules, worksheets, track cards, train instructions.

I guess that is enough for now.

Upcoming Changes

Now the the track is fully installed, I'm making a big push to get the rest of the trains in operation. It has taken a major rewrite of the schedule. 

All locals will now be turns. The AB/BA trains will pick up switching at Belfast. The northbound milk train will start placing the empties at the dairies. Passenger and commuter service will be back in service. 

This schedule should start in July.

Train watching

Ran across the Rocky Mountaineer sitting on the siding outside of Canyonlands NP and Moab around noon.
