Well decided today no track work lets get some wiring going can continue track work next time I'm off so here's some of the wiring I did the rest was like running wires to power track

 

 

 

With presure switches I was able to set this up when I get done as the light turns green that engine will roll out and the other will stop as the red light will come on in its side. I know in the second pic the green is hard to see but thats what lit at that time its the angle of the signal and the angle of the camera

Just some old school wiring

Making some real progress on the new bridge.

Needs one more coat of paint, and it will be ready for the train garden... will take the lights off so I can determine where to drill the holes in the base, then build the mountain behind it, then it will become a permanent part of the layout.



Only wired 1/3 of the lights are wired (testing the concept), looks pretty good with test passenger car (it is the longest car I have and it has plenty of clearance on the inside.

For the Memorial Day weekend the DKK&S RR decided to run it's newly rebuilt center cab and it's USCG tribute train into town for a photo op:

Would like to send a special shout out to all who served with me, especially those who gave it all up for this Country.

As we were running trains on my friends layout, I had my C&O F3 with a few flat cars with auto loads on them.
