Weekly update !I got a lot done this past week.  For a long time, I have been casting tunnel liners for the 17 tunnel openings on the layout.  I started installing them and even started molding the liners to the mountains in several places.  This picture shows two of the tunnel portals (with liners) of the four completed this week (still need paint, but otherwise complete).[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/021507-001_r.jpg[/IMG]I "solved" the problem with moved buildings and open spaces.  I am going to put the Ken Burns Coal and Fire Wood company next to the Sheriff's office/jail.  I have a thread going on the evolution of Ken Burns Coal and Fire Wood.  This is the cardboard mock up in place.[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/021207-012_r.jpg[/IMG]I got the new water tank by Hardspot station "planted".[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/021607-001_r.jpg[/IMG]The newly arrived 0-6-0 switcher allowed me to retire # 8 and # 9 (one at a time) and finally get them re-badged for the BAH RR.  Here they are with some preliminary weathering (cleaned up and lubricated as well).[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/021607-006_r.jpg[/IMG]The major time consuming event was to install one new piece of fascia with lights for indicating position of trains inside the mountains.  There are 12 lights (however, I only ordered 10 IR detectors).  The bottom row is for the continuous run loop (also used for staging) with three indicators.  The other lights are rows of alternating (by row) amber and green to show progress in the three loops of main line between Hardspot and Arock.  After using this for a couple of days; I am glad that I did it.  Now I "know" where my trains are in the hidden mountain trackage.  I will order three more IR detectors to finish the job (the two that I need plus a spare).[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/021507-008_r.jpg[/IMG]Next week I think that I will get # 10 (Roundhouse 4-4-0) and # 14 (new 0-6-0) re-badged for the BAH RR and continue on the Ken Burns Coal and Fire Wood complex.Thanks for looking.  Comments ?
