Conrail Windsor St Yard (York PA) Engineering Report

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Track is down. I repeat, track is down.

Not on all of it, and nothing is glued down or wired up, but it's actually starting to look like something.

Also, a recap of the past few months.

Very spacious looking scene shaping up.

Just for you @Ed Kapuscinski (sorta but not really) :

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Awesome.

Also, as a follow up... I just completed the track. Need to do some wiring first, but it'll be possible to run a circuit soon.

That bridge needs ME C55 bridge track with the guard rail installed

No bridge track, if it's a ballasted deck.  But, the guardrails would be okay.  What did the prototype do, @Ed Kapuscinski?

It's a ballasted deck, with PRR AF railings.

All in good time.

[Dave V]

Handrails, maybe...  guardrails, no:

Yep. It makes my life immensely easier.

I jumped the gun writing that blog post. I should've waited until today.

Because yesterday I put in "the golden spike", closing the loop at Hanover Junction.

While I don't have electricity to it yet (my Tony's order and Amazon order with the wiring supplies are on their way), I was able to "run" my beastly coal train around it with the old 0-5-0.

Yummy.

The pic of your bridge just made me feel stupid... I needed to get a 55-gallon drum of John's (@Lemosteam) shoes, but not 15 minutes ago sent an order off to Shapeways for one part for another project. Maybe 'cuz I hadn't finished my coffee? I dunno... stupid anyway.

Nice viaduct!   (Seriously. Very nice.)

If you didn't know, SW allows you to add to previous orders.  It shows up somewhere towards the end of the billing/shipping pages I think.

@C855B you can add to your current order without setup fee so long as your previous order has not printed yet.

@wcfn100 Great minds...
