Finished wiring all the tortoises that are there.  One last crossover to install.  I'm thinking about taking out the tortoises on the Shaw siding and making it manual.  It doesn't get that much traffic, and I put them in there more or less as a test bed for the first decoder I installed.  Even if I leave the machines in place, I may move the decoder somewhere where it will be more useful, not sure yet.

The best part is, with the interlockings all wired at the west end, I can now commence with scenery for Greenwood.  I'm thinking a little central PA style hamlet, perhaps with a friendly local watering hole...



We shall see!

Hmm, looks like a nice place to quench one's thirst.  Yeah, I'd be willing to partake of a Yuengling or two there.  Oh yeah... I have.  ;)

Oh Yes, I do think that would be a great place to down a few.  Of course, it would even be better if this was across the street.

We really got to get photos of the sides and rear of this fine establishment for someone to model.

I'm working on a "close enough" version using a DPM kit as a base.

I'll pop a picture of the one I'm using.  It's not listed on the DPM website, because apparently Woodland Scenics feels that N scale has enough structure kits available... ::)

I like it. The "tin" roof really makes me think western Maryland or South Central PA.

I suspect that sign may end up being reworked by someone at some point...

The first thing I noticed was some shifting of the model cars on the shelf above the paper mill:


Then I saw what could have been a whole lot worse:  Millions of gallons of 1:32 gasoline spilled all over a 1:160 forest!


Relieved that no hazmats were spilled, I went on to inspect the rest of the railroad...
East staging suffered one derailment (at least one that I can see right off.)


Another spill was spotted in the A/D tracks at Ridgeley:


But the most noticeable damage from the disaster took place out on the Connellsville Sub:


CNN crews are on site as are emergency crews from the surrounding counties.  So far no injuries have been reported...

No damage for me  --- but, I couldn't tell anyway - considering its always in a state of destruction :|
