mike g. posted:Good morning everyone, I thought I would give a little update before Christmas. It has been a slow haul but I am still moving forward with a couple back steps here and there, but its all good! As you all can see I got the road bed laid for my outer loop. and was able to get some track down.
As you can see in the pictures below I redesigned my airfield to 1 1/2" foam with a plywood base for it. I realized after removing the foam that was there a few times to get access to the track it was a PIA, this is much better as I can reach in from the center if I have any problems. I also took the idea given to me from Paul2 and moved the runway over the tracks on the front and will add tunnels. Gives it some excitement!
Last but not least I was able to get my first switch installed and part of the upper loop laid
Beautiful craftsmanship, Mike! From the perspective of us, who have neither the experience nor the skill to do what you have done, it would be a boon to know what unexpected challenges you faced and how you solved them. Might steepen our learning curve.
Peace, Joy, and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Pete
