Concrete pour #2 for stage 1 completed tonight. I now will have a complete loop for running trains, once it sets. The second part of Stage 1 was a bit more interesting as that had several more switches involved and was gioing thru the existing gardends ( key was not going over any existing plants (which I avoided of the ones that had sprouted)), but several will need to be moved before long. The plywood forms worked much better, and sped that part of the process up a lot. I will no longer use the masonite forms. Assuming I didnt screw anything up, it went amazing well (but slowly). For example, I guestamated the grade for completeing from the 2 seperate constuction points, and it came together without a hitch. I must state that the 1st part of construction would not have gone so quickly if it were not for the help of 2 friends (Doug & John)! I will post pics later on my site for the second part of construction. Next to be done is track on the original pour and forums out from each switch, maybe done Sun eve.
