Construction Log - 2007
Construction Notes - March 2007
- Although the weather has been too cold to work on the new yard modules,
I have decided to invest in the FastTrack turnout materials for making all
my turnouts. (Haven't decided on the status of the existing turnouts.) The
discussion on the LDSIG yahoo group and my own calculations, made the decision
simple. So that will be the next major purchase. Also, I plan to use the PC board
ties for the module intersections. This should mitigate my problems of the rails
losing gauge, where ever I made the cuts.
Construction Notes - September 2006
- With the yard modules constructed, I have started to lay down the cork.
Also, I have designed the walkway ramp for the station, which goes from the
upper to the lower tracks. I used project board covered with random stone
styrene sheets. After painting I will take a picture of it in place. Another
project is the bridge on module D, it is a Walthers double track through truss.
I hope the curved turnout fits!
- Trackside Structures

- Switchman Shanties

- Atlas Switch Tower

- With a cash crunch this year, I have concentrated on building up the existing
kits. I got three reefers together as well as some shanties and switch towers. I
need to finish the old Woodland Scenic's Stations. I have one complete painted,
with the other four needing window cross-braces. In addition, I haven't decided
on the flooring material, yet.
