Crazy, my igloo is melting. Anyways enough corny humor…

I made some significant progress and actually pieces together my entire upper two loops today. A lot of fiddling around to make sure there is enough clearance with the big boy and 21” passenger cars.  I also placed the rotary coal tipple and its spur track. 

Next I will need to mark some of the plywood for cuts and then tear it all down so I can cut and paint the plywood. I’ll also be fitting and cutting the ceiling tiles and will do that in the garage. Easier than balancing over the train table!

Ive also decided to remove the bottom level Of train shelves to give more space for the sky of the layout.

I was originally going to do the upper loop about 6 “ lower and I’m glad I bumped it higher but now the shelves are just too close. Sad to lose the storage though….I don’t know about you guys but I never have enough space!

My plan is to take the Fastrack apart and label each piece so it goes together easy peasy next time!

Going camping with the kids for Canada Day so probably won’t here much from me for the next week, enjoy the weather and July 4!!
