Bryan, glad your second open house went well although I did not get a return invitation so I guess I have to exclude from my open house after York LOL. All kidding aside the layout has taken on a new prospective from the small layout you first had in the small room. I am sure when you do the your open house for your friends at school they will impressed. Well today I spent the morning and afternoon doing what I like to do best....wiring..UGH!!! but I managed to get the majority of the sidings hooked up except for one which I have to figure why it does not work. I have power and ground to it. Also I have a puzzling problem which maybe you guys can help me with it is the bridge. First I had to tweak the abutments to get it to fit. I must of had some expansion. I fixed that and dropped the bridge into place. When I bought it at York a few years back Mike Reagan said it would carry electrical through it. But as I ran the engine toward the bridge it went dead just before going onto the bridge. I have a transition from Gar Graves to Fast Track. On the Gar Graves I ran wires to both outer rails and power to the center rail. The pic with the engine is where it goes dead. Unfortunately I cannot find my tester for power yet. I did use transition pins that go from Gar Graves to fast track. If anybody has any ideas I am all ears because as of now I am at a loss. Here are pics and the last ones show where I hooked up the wires. I go from Gar Graves to fast track to fast track girder bridge to bridge. Thanks for any help ahead of time Paul
