Alright y'all, are some pictures as I promised.
First is a shot of the layout construction progress.
Aside from the messiness of the room, you can see how it is coming along. About half of the decking of 15/32" plywood is attached and about 75% of the support frames are built. I only have one more to go!
Due to space constraints I have scaled back the layout some. It will now have three walls of layout and the fourth wall will be a connector for continuous running and where the work table will go. However I do have a decent plan still. The yard ladder has been built (it can be seen about halfway down the right side decking) and should be installed tonight if I can stay awake.
This is the re-motor project I am working on for the tunnel motor. She didn't play well with my Genesis SD45-2 so I decided to put a Genesis motor in here. The internet says that the Genesis motor fits RTR locos. What they didn't say was that it takes some work... More on that in a separate post.
And lastly, I randomly caught the Illinois Terminal heritage locomotive. She unexpectedly passed me leading a train from the Texas City Terminal and by the time I caught up to her for a picture, this was the best I could do. But I swear it is her! Zoom in on the cab numbers!
And lastly, a shiny new BNSF Gevo near my work.
Now I am off to recover for an op session tomorrow on the Almeda Terminal & Gulf layout!
