A few pics from two weeks ago.

This section of the mainline laid down (about 40% of upper level mainline).  It starts as a double track along the long wall on the left and loops around Fuhgeddaboudit Yard on the right.

The yard's arrival and departure tracks connect to the mainline along the long wall on left.  This creates a long siding up to the yard entrance and exit along the wall with the windows.  This should help keep the main clear when traffic starts to backup.

Yes, that is 3/8" threaded rod coming down from the ceiling joists to support the deep overhang.  I just need a couple of smoke stacks to disguise them.




I am using sheet cork roadbed in the areas where there will be a ladder or servicing.  Otherwise strip cork roadbed.

Cork roadbed and track held down with Dap latex caulk.  Except for turnouts which are not secured to the cork.  Since turnouts are usually the part of the trackwork that may require removal, repair or replacement I am not securing them directly to the roadbed.  If necessary I will be able to slide the rail joiners back, remove wiring from the rails and lift them out.
