Mark and Mike,
Thanks! It's called sleep deprivation. Seems like I just got done and I'm right back at it as we speak. Well not right this second, taking a breather. Plus I have to cook dinner for my guest.
Actually most of the track is in place. I just need to install lift bridges. Also,this is only one side of the layout. I still have the other to do and am using this to learn some new techniques.
