Leapin Larry, Great photos, those Santa Fe F3's pulling the El Capitan make one beautiful train.
Al, Thanks for sharing the photos of the removable roof electrical. It would be a shame to permanently mount a roof on that piece of work. Just incredible attention to detail, an amazing well done build.
Mark - Congratulations, you're on the way . I know it's been a long time since the design started, and then the re-design to incorporate the expansion , so it must feel really good to be assembling benchwork.
For me another 6 hours of wiring, and making improvements to some early wiring today, but I finally got the trains running again around 9:30 tonight. At least now all (4) 180 watt power districts are wired in, and the 24 individual sidings, spurs and mains have all their 10 to 15 amp switches wired.
