Well, I finally did it. I finished spreading ballast over the entire Shoreham section of the layout. Most of it is glued too! I just have to clean the rails on the mains, then I can do a little rail paint touch up, and I can set my building flats, add a little greenery, and this section is officially done. Then I can hang my valance!
Everything from the stick to the left of the bumper, is glued.
Just have this section around the switches left to glue. It won't take long.
There's still a lot of rail to clean before I try to run anything. I've added that to my computer punch list. Company's coming in a couple weeks. Next week is full of medical stuff. Gotta get a move on.
P.S. Last time Patrick came over, he thought one of the outside rails on main 2 (the middle track of the three near the backdrop) was bent. He even showed me a picture, and it looked bent. However, I checked the gauge with my calipers, and it was fine. It must have been an optical illusion created by the uneven paint on the rail head. That would have been a pain to fix. Dodged one there.
