Action on the Seattle & Yakima RR

This is the first time I've missed York in a couple of years. This working for a living nonsense gets in the way of so many things.

The problem I have is that I have 91 photos I took at York that I can use for WPF.

Here is a look down one of the main aisles at White Hall

My layout is in the Attic. It is split 1/3 - 2/3 between an unfinished storage area and my finished train room.

Several weeks ago, I had a couple of our modular club members over laying track in the unfinished side of the attic. We sort of got ahead of ourselves. Missed several insulating pins, feeds for the block signaling, a couple of power feeds, unpainted Rossbed, and about 40' of straight track laid w/o aid of my 8' aluminum straight edge guide.

Well, 1 1/2 Days later the redux is complete. I took it all apart from the curves-out and got it all put back together. 

How many of you have laid track only to have to pull it up again, just to make it "right" the second time??? Moving forward now. I am within 3 sections of having the track in the finished train room on both sides.

On the other hand, the bridges over the stairwell are square, level, and the track is laid and running true. Didn't want to risk testing with one of my N&W cars, so....... Thankfully the track on the bridges runs smooth as glass.

I don't.   I LOVE 'em. 

Good work Gilly--congratulations. I found that 1',3',5' straight edges and my 8'-6" saw guide to be essential for straight layout lines and track installation.

My little attic layout's kneewall backdrop height to rafter pitch is only 13''. Yours appears 16-18"+ which accommodates certain of the marketed backdrops scenes.

Thank you for your kind words.

The knee wall tightens-up in the finished train room. There I have been able to use pre-printed scenes. The unfinished side is going to get several "night vignettes" based upon O.W. Link pictures. You're spot on with the 18" estimate on the unfinished side, good eyes!

I'm excited to get to work on the yard area. I've got several pictures of your yard to use as a guide.... I'll be painting the Rossbed for the switches this afternoon.

Great photos! Here is some recent work.
