Very cool Lee! Of course, I imagined the bridges under the track so it didn't look completely like they were sailing into space...

This makes me cringe...you have bigger brass than I.

Glad someone else said that. Lee, you really should put some kind of hardboard up to protect that while waiting to build the bridge itself,

Anyone got any 80' Micro Engineering kits drifting around that you don't need?  I've got the three 40' ponies I need...  I'm cutting some blocks of wood as temporaries.  Work's a little light today, maybe I'll throw in the river bed and some piers...

I have six of the ballasted bridges that I scavaged from the Rochelle Subdivision.

Massive coolness.  Can't wait to run it properly, with some pool power from the Southeast!

I've got to put the drops in to the bus line from the Connellsville loop, then I can confidently install a river bed to make the trip less scary.  Daryl, check your PM to let the negotiations begin!

In the meantime, you might want to put a pole on the front loco so it can balance during the high wire act....  ;D ;D :D ;)

Celebrity bridge girders en route from the Union Pacific.  Hopefully they'll make it through the time warp from 2008 Rochelle to 1971 West Virginia!

Thanks, Daryl!

Looking awesome, Lee! I'm going to have to make that trip this fall or winter... didn't know you had a boat... maybe during crab season!  :D

I've got something better than a boat... A Neighbor with a boat!  While he's out scrubbing barnacles, I'm building track!  Come on down anytime!

the re-imagined WM is freakin sweet.  i had a chance to swing by Lee's today and i was very impressed.  the peninsula is going to own your face.  once the scenery is in, that gorge is going to have newcomers camped out. 

when is the next work session, i think i have a case of beer laying around here somewhere...

The two happiest days in a boat owners life...the day he buys the boat and the day he sells the boat.

Acquired a few electrical bits necessary for installing the thru tracks in Thomas.  Probably get that installation completed tonight.

Thinking about signaling a little bit, too....  Hmmm.

Laid out the storage tracks and sawmill in Thomas last night, and started wiring the turnouts.  It's really shaping up.

Looking great. The video made me wince a few times though, trains running across a chasm on bare, naked track...I am sure that is a violation of WM safety rules.
Just say no to dummy couplers.
