George, I just checked out your litho station. Fabulous, and it got me thinking I haven't seen any progress reports on your layout lately. Have you been working on it?

Thanks for asking.

My layout is operational. I'm enjoying running trains on it. There are a few things to do, but none are essential. For example, I never glued the felt down. It's all just loose laid. I haven't wired my yard or powered any tracks in the engine facility or turntable area. I'm spending time tuning and fixing trains that aren't running right at this point. Still acquiring more trains... eek You'd think I have enough at this point!

I have some light pole accessories I haven't installed. I haven't decided where I want them yet. I did add some additional track lighting to the ceiling to illuminate an area of the layout that was a little dark. There is a little room for an extension to the layout too, but I haven't spent much time planning it.
