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
Forgot how awesome your bridge was Paul. Haven't seen it in a while. The bridge is a lift out right? You probably need to add jumpers to the track. Find your tester before you go crazy. Great to see an engine lit up on the track.
