Thanks! LARRY.

Another, gooda' one. Per our conversation months ago, I got really hung on, at least a 12' section on my layout, added on to my, city now. I'm going to try and do the track work in the brick streets that I have now, the hardest part so far, is the brickwork, in the switches, but I think, I got them worried. You and your ISL's. Smile, Wink & Grin

Nice vids.

 

Here's a good site for photos of switching in Chicago.  Appropriately, it's called Chicago Switching.
