Last night I managed to get just a few items done:

  1. I added another rib to the "sandwich" (at the eastern end).  There will probably be 1 more rib, I'm just now sure where it will go.
  2. I am planning to use a Scenic Express rusted steel wall as the way to hide the "parting" line between the layout and the removable "sandwich" or access hatch.
  3. Cut and added 1/8" masonite to fill in some of the areas that will support the wall.
  4. Placed a small block of wood under the bottom of the sandwich that will make for easy re-installation of the hatch.  The block keeps the sandwich in the correct position.

Logical next steps are installation of the Vinylbed switch pads, final placement of the track between the bridge and the switch, installation of electrical feeder wires in the track east of the switch and final installation of the #11 Switch itself.  After that we will lay Switch #16 and its spurs and complete the remainder of the mainline curve.
