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

Minor stuff this evening. Grabbed a couple of 1.75" FasTrack pieces to extend the outer loop just a bit to give it a bit more space from the long siding. Then switched a 4.5" piece with two 1.75" pieces to give me another inch space between the outer loop and the long siding as well. Then I cleaned up the table a bit and pulled out the loading dock accessory. Finding a place for this is going to be difficult, but I may have found a home for it. See that I need to do some work on it as well. I may build a base for it that I can slip under the track and also give me enough clearance for all of my trains (sides and top). Also measured out some aluminum flashing for new bottoms for my two girder bridges. I imagine I don't really need something underneath, but it won't hurt and while the flashing is a bit flimsy, I think it'll work just fine for where these are going to be placed. If worse comes to worse, I can fold it up onto itself. I have enough of this stuff from an old project in my last house and I won't be needing it any longer.

So now the items I have are as follows: wiring up the power switches to the two FasTrack sidings and attaching them properly to the table; getting my extra O27 switches in and getting the inner loop completed, cleaned, and tested; and laying out accessories. I have a pair of dwarf switches, the diesel horn shed, the rotary beacon, and the Marx radio tower that need to be powered. I also have a pair of Plasticville buildings I need to find a home for. I have a feeling not everything is going to fit exactly the way I envisioned, but I'm not giving up track real estate for buildings. I'll figure it out.
