It has been a while since my last update, but I have been making some progress. Besides track laying, I also upgraded my DCS TIU’s to the latest software, and even ran some trains! I had a new MTH F3 ABA Santa Fe and passenger car set, and also an MTH Big Boy that I had received for my birthday and Christmas and had never run. They are fantastic!

Anyway, I am about done with the lower level track; just need to do one section that will not take long. Here are some pictures that you may enjoy.

My wife and my granddaughter just before I started laying track at this end.

I found that the RR-Track layouts are very precise and if the tracks are cut and laid accurately, they will match the RR-Track perfectly. One of the tricks is to establish the proper radius for the curves. Even when using sectional track as I am using, if the centers are not established, the tracks can be off considerably. Here are some examples from this last track laying session.

My granddaughter took this picture standing on a stool while I was checking some curves.

Other centers:

Trying my hand at painting clouds of the stormy variety.

The tracks that connects the two main areas.

Bird’s Eye views

My now favorite way of connecting the wires to the track (extremely easy to do)

Overall at Eye Level

I’ll be back soon with more pictures. Thank you for looking!
