Got a number of things done and started some new efforts:

  • All locomotives were moved back into the Staging Area.  I can tell that the track is a bit dirty as we had some fits and starts as well as dead spots while the engines were crawling back to their spots.  At some point, I will give the track a good hard scrub, but not right away.
  • Electrical components and wiring were moved back into their respective bins - Track, Switch Bus, and Accessory.
  • Carpentry tools were hung back up in the workshop and electrical tools went into their carrying tray.  Power tools went back to their storage space under the layout.
  • Newly arrived Plastruct and Evergreen structural shapes were stored in their project boxes for later use.
  • I got out the plans, jig, and the first roof truss of the Open Hearth.  It's time to deal with this big job.  I've got 8 more trusses the one below to make.

  • The "Lean-To" portion of the Open Hearth is now being designed.  This will house the Arduino, large smoke generator, powerstrip, and other electrical components that will run the simulated steel-making operation.
  • We are still thinking about the base of the model and how such a large structure (62" x 37") might be moved without damaging it.  I am certainly open to suggestions on that.

More when I know it.
