I was going to tell him it looks great and he better hurry up because Christmas is coming soon. But there's no reply button on his post showing up on my phone. I don't know how Penny responded. But I have no option to reply in the space it's usually at in his post. Weird....

I had a very difficult time posting it.  I was unable to log in for two days or so and then the link to the photos didn't work. Seems ok now. But anyway, you're right, time is running short .  I planned it out to be finished by the 15th but I added a siding and the loop bypass.  Those "scope changes" together with the fact that I do volunteer work on Fridays now has my schedule hopefully finishing on the 18th.  I say hopefully because I'm heading to the Tampa train show on Saturday and who knows what ideas may emerge from that resulting in further scope changesLaugh

There's been some strange stuff going on with the various Kalmbach sites lately, frequent posters on all of them have been having problems logging in and staying logged in.

I had trouble myself several days ago but it's fine for me now.  Slowly but surely it seems to be stabilizing.

I'm a big fan of reversing loops!  I like it!  Nice job!

Into some of the finer points now.  I have left absolutely no space for buildings.  This layout is all track and one big mountain
