John, Mark & Dave, Thanks for kind words.
Dave, yes, your comments were well timed, and spot on ! Managed to get it out the garage for an initial coat of flat black, and the extra work hiding wires, and making finials was worth the extra time spent.... Here's a few more in process photos...
John, that track and bridge work is meticulous ! Nice job on the piers under the deck plate bridge, I assume those are scratchbuilt ?
Think I'll get all my relays, wire and supplies out tonight and stage them so I can get the 10 relay panel going tomorrow.
