My weekend project was to repair a boxcar for the club. After some helpful searching on TrainBoard, I was able to get the prototypical information. This boxcar was weathered very hard and had the reporting marks obliterated. Here is my before and after photo. Before: After:
Finally working.... I reached a major milestone this weekend. I have been planning my home NTrak layout for quite some time, and also working towards having some stuff ready for the Derby City Express. Today I finished the electrical. 14 modules all wired with 12 ga wire and powerpole connectors per the latest standard. Not all have scenery yet, but this allowed me to set up 9 of them, and more importantly the 9 include 6 going to the Derby City Express. One or two more weekends of final scenery and touch up should have them all ready to go, nothing major left just minor items. More importantly, now that the layout is set up I can test all of my locomotives and rolling stock, most of which have not been roundy-round in 2.5 years. I'm sure there will be some minor tune up to be ready for the convention. Anyway, behold my finally working layout!
Here's what I have been doing for the last 9 months or so. A UP mixed freight crossing the bridge: Same UP freight coming off the bridge and onto the second shelf level of the layout: A short steel coil train heads over the bridge and downhill: Same steel coil train taken from the valley:
Again the same coil train from the other side of the bridge: Coil train crossing the viaduct bridge farther down the grade: A shot down into the valley after the train passes:
Great looking layout. Do you have more shots? I am kitbashing a bridge just like your steel on on my layout.
