Reply to "Thoughts on traditional track options/AF display progress"

Update:

All traces of the old O gauge loop in the alcove are gone, as are the old display shelves. Some demo and reconstruction on the back platform was necessary to accommodate the different track radius, back platform painted, new tunnel portals made and installed, connection wires soldered to track, the cleaned/tested track inserted into the cleaned roadbed, and tracks laid down (but not attached to the board) for fit. Temporarily powered up the track with alligator clips.

Here is the biggie: FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ALMOST 69 YEARS I RAN AN AMERICAN FLYER TRAIN!
