The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.
Sorry about picture #1, I am working on section 3, 4 and 5. # 5 is the return loop so far it is a combination on 1/4 9ft, 1/4 11.5 ft and 1/2 9ft diameter turns. I will post pictures when completed. hopefully before the third BUT it been hot over 100 degrees in the shade............
After 15 days of very little progress, the weather finally went back to normal for this time of year. The return loop has changed to a 135 deg of 11.5 ft dia with 60 deg of 10ft reverse turn starting out from 90deg. 9ft dia. The overall space required is 12.5 x19 ft. been racking my brain trying different combinations of track and moving the bridge pit to the left about 6ft.
Made good progress yesterday but had to stop and do dinner it was also the last day my wife's birthday week celabration . ( Yes She doe's cellabrate for week.) and it end's with Oakley's city hood anaversery Fireworks.
The bridge pit is ready for rocks, section's 4 & 5 are ready carpet and track. all that's stopping me now is section 6, the return loop ( all elevated ) just need to line up the footing's and buy more 2x4's ceader fence boards.
All of the track is in place and mostly wired ( Done today Hopefully ) should be running till the first then I can get the last 4 yards of gray outdoor carpet. for under the track . Have to take a brake today to go with my wife.
planning on picture's this weekend it's been a fun build ( HA HA HA) but all of the hard parts are done. only a few things left to complete before adding buildings and trains.
TODAY is the day I get to run a complete loop on the new DELTA NORTHERN. Last of the carpeting will be installed , the bridge pit painted and ready foe rocks. all the track tested and cleaned . Video today posted Sunday AM...... Then I get to start placing buildings ( streets maybe ) and other stuff. on the NEW ELEVATED DELTA NORTHERN RAILROAD
THE DNRR HAS BEEN RESESATATED
well as per usual I didn't get finished with the TRACK WORK Till YESTERDAY, I have some tweeking to do on one of the lift out sections . then I will post both before and after Video's overall the train run's grate sure is nice having an engine do the track cleaning for me got to love stainless steel track. The build resulted in 1 section 10ft , 2 sections 9ft dia. plus 2 3ft sections of track leftover from my last rr. I did have to use 4 sections of 5ft dia. to complete the small loop ( second Loop ) the smallest dia used on the main line is 9ft with 10 and 11.5 used when possible. still have some carpet to put down and more rock to put in the bridge pit.. I ran a Delton Dozzy for the first time in 4 years it finnaly has had it's brake in run of 30 min after having it for 30 years. TIME TO LUB a bunch of shelf queen's and get them running... BUT first I need to clean up my mess out back . The only thing I might do is remove the S turn from the Main Line depends on on how long of a train I can run before it causes a problem.
New Video 2x around before clean up and tunnel rebuild to fit B-mann 2-8-0
