Lookin good. I always like seeing the tubular track, O22 switches, and bare plywood. Classic! Good luck with your layout.

Congratulations! Always a memorable moment - don't forget to write it down in marker somewhere under the layout so you can remember it!

I got the Polar Express set last year, I just added the two add on cars that I got
yesterday. I can get over how quiet the P.E. is over my postwar hudson.

Nothing like the first trip on the track to keep the interest going. Good luck with the rest of the process.

Keep on training,
