I worked till 10 last night, then got up at 6:30 this morning to finish the soldering. The whole layout is soldered and I installed one new feeder as well.Next project: Fix the trackwork... I have a few bad joints that need filing and some switch points need it too. Now I just need to get a needle file...After that I have to buy and install metal wheels on 6-8 cars, and install decoders in three locos. Then I have a whole bunch of locos to repaint...In case you haven't guessed, I'm trying to get my layout ready for April Vacation when I hope to hold an operating session... And actually ready this time; all my previous sessions were basically complete disasters because of dirty track and derailments... Alex knows how bad it was! WRS should've stood for "Worst Railroad Service" back then... A list of inprovements since then:<ol><li>Metal wheels.</li><li>Kadee couplers.</li><li>All track soldered.</li><li>More feeders.</li><li>A new yard with 4 times the capacity.</li><li>All locos P2K or Atlas (with one exception.)</li><li>Minimum mainline switches are #6s, as compared to #4s.</li><li>Two walkaround throttles and one yard throttle</li><li>No too-small staging yard - trains stage on the layout between sessions.</li><li>Much more realistic industry buildings</li><li>A lot more scenery</li></ol>Etc...
