Got the switches on the outbound side of the west staging wired (finally) but need to come up with a plan for the inbound side, because the way I wired everything sucked too much power to throw anything.  I've got some Atlas slidey switches and a separate power supply for the other three... That will probably be a semi permanent stopgap measure.

Also finished laying out the track for the eastbound ready tracks,  and spent some time fooling around with the camera.



I think I'm going to include the abandoned siding there on the right, although the temptation is great to model the brick yard across Burhans Blvd. from the yard.  I'll just have to cut in yet another switch on this already very busy piece of layout...



I used some pre-puffballed hunks that I had laying around to make the background, and this turned out really nicely, until I discovered the dismembered torso floating in the river...

Great progress Lee.  The man was thrown quite a distance from the tracks.

Lee,
How about some yellow crime scene tape around that torso and a couple of CSI people taking photos and collecting evidence?

Actually, he was gathered up, and reunited with his legs some time later...


Still, the incident attracted the attention of Deputy Fife...

Exactly what I was going for.  Bob has a shot of this very angle from about 1974, hopefully he'll post it again!

@Phil...  Ballast is drying as we speak... ;D

Just like real-life: there's a damn tree in the shot that's blocking a clear view of the train!  Seriously, looks friggin' sweet, Lee!
