Serving Coastal Maine
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.
The yardmasters and dispatcher should be happier now. I connected the yard lead on the north side of Brunswick to the mainline. I also added signals and an extra block. I'm sure I will have to modify another block to get it as correct as I can. It meant re-wiring the yard lead and turntable track to be on the right block. Now there is an extra escape/approach if needed.This wasn't my first choice of options, but it was the easiest.
