RWL, I am glad you have recovered enough from your abdominal surgery to get back to the layout. That is very neat looking wiring on the switches and a switch control panel in progress. I'm recovering from lumbar fusion surgery and was away from the layout a couple months myself.
Dad's Train Room, those paper facades look great as does your lighting! That will certainly be an eye catcher for Halloween!
As mentioned I just got back to the layout a week or so ago. I had noticed some expansion on the lower of my two lift up bridges. I shaved just a smidgeon of wood off the bridge. The rails already extended past the wood, so now everything seats well again. I did take the advice to get a second dehumidifier for the basement yesterday. I need to get it out of the box and set it up. It was an easy sell for my wife as she didn't want any of my engines to oxidize. Though I didn't meet her until I was 27, I have been very blessed for 37 years married to her!!
As RWL received his switches while recovering from surgery, I just received 2 AIUs for my switches, uncouplers, and whatever in the future. All I have done so far is daisy chain them to the TIU and see that the TIU recognizes them via the remote. I still need to pull some wire before I hook any up, so I have some incentive to do my exercises and get my back and hamstring muscles stronger to handle leaning under the layout. I'm so glad I made the layout high enough and the wiring close to the edge so that I can sit on a stool and lean under instead of other more painful alternatives.
