With Bob as a crew of one, we got a fair amount of work done.  Ted was at his daughters building a crib.  Jack made a cameo visit to drop off a track spacing tool and hovered over the cutting of the trestle (wish I would have taken some pix...oh well).

Fascia and supports at the trestle end were painted.  The trestle was cut and trial fitted.  Will install after a clearance test with Ted's "golden" Big Boy.

Tiles were cut and installed (with screws of course) on the upper level and the ramp.

The southern end upper level and serves as Johnbrandt's work area.  Hope he doesn't have any problems with urban development when the track work is done.  Michelangelo apparently didn't have that problem with painting the Sistine Chapel.  His biggest problem was the Pope.

Entrance to the tunnel at the other end of the northern level.

Will probably have a portal similar to this.

The two track portal on the southern end will probably be similar to this.

Next will be painting the ramp and upper level, laying out the curves at the end of the trestle (curves will start more than half-way into the first bay), and finish laying track (about 130-140 feet total for the trestle and ramp).
