The construction phase of Gravesend Yard on the lower level is complete.  A year of my life I won't get back.

Next phase is construction of the turnout controls using the DCC Specialties stationary decoders, single pushbuttons and red/green LED's.

 A couple of short videos below.

The first is a panoramic scan of the yard.  The yard locations are the coach yard, diesel house (base installed), passenger station behind diesel house, turntable, bases for machine shop and round house, diesel fueling area, freight classification yard, refrigerator car icing track, REA depot and an arriving train.

The second video is a UP Big Boy backing out of the round house base and onto the turntable.  The turntable rotates to place on the outbound track.
