Sometime I get more work done on odd things when I just did not want to work on the layout but made myself make a small mental list and get to it. I seldon hit much off the list but when I get going I generally end up on something complettely different and get quite a bit done. So get in there and fine tune your turnouts so that will lead to checking the gage on your wheelsets and checking the wieghts of all your cars. Or install those uncoupler magnets that will lead you to fine tuning the couplers on all the cars and locos. Get it, one thing may turn into something else quite easily.

tomkat; That track looks really good! Is it hand-laid?
