New Connellsville Staging Loop15 views4 through tracks in the loop, with 6 stub end storage tracks. Should be plenty, ya think?

Track Power Indicators7 viewsThe stub end storage tracks will be a little tough to see, so I'm adding LED indicators to the bumpers, and will likewise include them on a control panel at the dispatcher's desk.

Temporary section84 viewsThis new temporary section provides more operational opportunities for the layout while it waits in a holding pattern for my son's new bedroom to be renovated. The only thing "permanent" is the river bed, the new bridge, and the embankment on the left side. The rest will be ripped out when construction on the finished product proceeds, hopefully summer 2007.
