Ok since I havent posted lately, here is the progress. Last week, I have removed forms on all the concrete, and backfilled the slightly raised roadbed with dirt. I have bought ballast (gray granite medium chicken grit). Since it was raining friday, and rained all day sat, forcast for non stop till wed. I now have a fully working RCS/sieirra sound equiped engine-it took more work than I expected to get all the bugs out (all bugs caused by me), but I got it all done, the next engine should be a cake walk! I bought a outdoor mat and cut it to fit the exsisting patio conctrete track, cut to fit, when placed upsidown-it should look like modern railroad crossings (and keep leaves etc out of the ties which would cause problems without causing derailments-basically tested (set in test track in basement, didnt derail loco)- long term testing to be determined). Photos to be posted when it isnt raining - got a new (cell phone) camera so pic posting will continue, once weather permits (none since last post- I'll let you know when that happens). The big track laying project is being held up because I am waiting for the spit jaw rail expansion sets to show up at my retailer -I dont know if I need them, but I am sure one is needed in the confined space of the patio between the two switches (no room for the track to flex and allow for heat expansion, and the rest of them is part of my over building personality).
