Model Railroad Construction Progress: October 2005

Ok.

I've come out of hibernation. First things first: there was some basic housekeeping I needed to do. When I first got DCC I built a little drawer for the command station and stuck it underneath the mountains.

There were a couple of problems. The drawer blocked access to the tracks underneath the mountains and it had no drawer front. I decided to move the command station under where the main yard will(eventually) be, add a drawer front and paint it.

Here's the location where the command station used to be.

Here's the relocated command station. It's still fairly crude but looks a lot nicer with the paint and drawer front.

Now another task becons...sigh...one I just "love" to do...

...some of the fruits of my electrical toil.

I still have more scenery to put on this particular mountain section (trees, bushes, people..etc) but I'm going to leave it alone for now.

Once I finish wiring this area will get scenery next...stay tuned
