Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

Greetings Everyone,

Well, I have made a bit more progress on the layout and I have posted a few pictures for those who have been following its development.   I finally have all of the elevated main line (Track 3) right of way complete and I'll be making final track alignment and adjustments before adding power.  The Atlas Pratt Truss Bridge has to be removed to facilitate the opening of the hinged "Lift-Out" section which allows entry into the middle of the layout.  Power is supplied via a small plug/socket arrangement which allows removal of the bridge.  I will be adding more MDF board along the right of way on both sides of the bridge and when time permits, it will be painted and gussets will be added so it resembles Girder Bridge Plate.  Both of the 2 X 4 Piers supporting the bridge will be covered with a "Brick Veneer" made from Foam Board as shown in the pictures.  Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement from my previous layout posts and please feel free to opine on these pictures as well.   Thanks for looking!
