John Garfield suggested that I add a non-prototypical crossover in Red Bluff to help facilitate switching. The crossover has been constructed and installed today.
I gave the base coat of paint to track in Girvan and Redding. I will be going back to paint individual ties.
I need to pick up another sheet of hardboard to finish the fascia but have 16′ ready to install. Then holes need to be cut and drilled to accommodate slide switches and LED’s.
I’m going to Tulsa, OK, for a few days of operations so I decided to mark today as the completion of the track for all 7 towns with only the staging area to be done and perhaps adding another area over staging in the future. The loco is sitting at the end of the main line in Redding. HOORAY!
Last two pictures are of Girvan and Redding. Ready to start modifying JMRI and making signage so we can start operations. YES!
