I'm new to the Forum. This is a GREAT idea ... sharing with everyone our progress on our respective railroads. My railroad's name is The Freestate Junction Railroad " a conduit line for all of Maryland's class 1 and short line railroads" during the transition era.
This week I wired all the track on the new Mountain Division ( The actual mountain is yet to be completed... and will be in the next few months hopefully ) which hosts a Bollman Truss Bridge. I tested trains running on the Mountain division. All track work is fine.... no problems with derailments. Two freinds helped wire my lower division mainline and also helped with the progress of my elevated trolly line.
Today I did a foam moch up of the mountain... just to get an idea of how it might look.
I put the last two pieces of track in place to complete the elevated trolly line. Still lacking the final screws for piers.... but it all looks good! I went to Home Depot to buy more pink two inch foam. Also bought some single roof shingles for making roads ... at $2.02 per shingle I can get lots of mileage out of a single shingle ... and they come in various colors too!
I'm looking forward to working on my layout tomorrow. Actually "working" is not exactly what it is .... it's really creative play. :-)
