Tom finished the supports and removable cover over the pop-up in the northwest corner (area where the trestle meets the upper level). Plans are to recreate the military funeral scene we had on our old layout in the corner in honor of one of our members who passed several years ago. Here's a pic of the scene from our old layout.
Fastened most of the curved track on the ramp around the roundhouse. Relatively easy since it's preformed.
Ted was lowering the ground throws on the switches on those where the pin wasn't long enough to stay in the crossbar and then painting the bare wood black (as in the pic above), and adding ground throws where needed.
Located the centers and track locations for the track coming off the trestle. Ted did the marking with the trammel.
Marked up the rest of the ramp, locating track for straights and curves.
