Fascia construction
Leave a reply
Work continues on constructing the fascia boards. Next will be installing the turnout control switches. The color is as close to Great Northern blue as I can get in a spray can.
Gauntlet bridge-gate installed.
I now have a completed route over the gauntlet bridge-gate. Trains can run all the way from Chehalis to Yakima. Time to start on some structural upgrades to the layout.
Bridge to the future
This was a major step forward to completing the bridge-gate from Yakima to Chehalis
Turnouts under construction
One of my favorite restful pastimes is the construction of turnouts. I only built the more complex curved turnouts and not the simple #4s and #6s I use in the yards. This is the entrance “crossing” to the gauntlet bridge/gate tracks. Thank you “Fast Tracks” for your great templates. All mainline turnouts will be powered while the yards will have manual throws.
