Some excellent work being shared here, I really enjoy following this thread.
I added some additional power drops to help out in few problem areas when I run a 3 engine lash-up. 2 engines ran fine but the extra power draw from 3 really highlighted the areas of the layout that had issues.
I also finally got around to opening up and running some of my recent purchases. I was able to find a Lionel legacy NS ES44AC and a NS SD60E NOS from a dealer. I picked up the Lionel BNSF GP30 that I had on order at my LHS (I am liking this more than I thought I would) and put it to work switching out the brewery. I also nabbed some MTH Auto racks and the recently released released MTH ttx Twin Stack set.
My one year old daughter enjoyed the running session. Some photos and videos below:
