Here's some correctional trackwork and the collateral damage caused by some nut trying to install Rapido switch motors in a difficult-to-access area of my layout...

...this one was the hardest to reach, and almost impossible to see...

Fortunately, all of them work well, once the mess was cleaned-up.

Wayne

How about some trackwork with track workers, please.

Passenger trains get switched, too:

Here the Century is pulled backwards into the station for boarding. The S-3 electric will be uncoupled and wait for the train to depart before going on to other chores:
