Been a while since the last post, but that doesn't mean no work has transpired- quite the opposite. I have been working on my layout, and a few other projects besides- not the least of which is changing my website look a little bit.
So what's new on the layout? Much!
Reverse loop:
I've been working through the lower reverse loop, working through track fitting (cutting flex track, acquiring and modifying turnouts, etc.). My goal is to get the lower loop and the upper loop in the same state as the yard (roadbed and track down; painted and ready for scenic treatment) in the next couple months. So the lower loop was the focus of late.
Track is mainly glued down, and I have installed (crudely, for now) an MRC Auto Reverse loop module like this one
here. I've also modified the track plan a bit, based on my test fitting. I will update that graphic as well, but it keeps the industries served and the road access (love bridges, wanted to accomodate some) and most importantly fits. I've run trains around the loop, and it seems to work great, which is really the idea.
