Gentlemen:

Thank you for the comments. For all of you GG1 fans, I can do the shortened versions!

Alan: You are correct in the scaling issue. The wire and immediate cat supports are close to scale, but the rest of it clearly isn't. That is a compromise I make, based on the purpose of the system. I'm more interested in mimicking the design, implementation of the real thing than getting the scaling details spot-on. Still, you are correct, and especially the structure over the electrically-isolated turnouts came out bigger than I had hoped. Even though it's 'complete', I still make upgrades and changes as I think of new methods. Do you have any pictures of yours online anywhere? I'm always interested in seeing other ways of doing this.

I do enjoy writing, but my downfall is endless edits. I added a few pictures of the support wiring and re-worded a few things. My OCD doesn't permit me to ignore mistakes that I find!

Thanks again.
