Construction Update

Well, it's again been a long time since I posted an update.  However, I've not been idle in the past few weeks.  Construction has continued & the subroadbed is basically complete except for the Ogdensburg Branch, a few sidings and the upper level above Maybrook, which will be Andover Jct and west end staging.  I decided to leave that as open grid for the time being to facilitate construction of east end staging and Maybrook.  Also, I've installed roadbed from the west end of Maybrook to Warwick, as well as roadbed for the west half of Maybrook.  I started laying some track, too, & have installed 10 feet of east end staging (7 tracks) and about 10 feet of mainline from the west end of Maybrook through the NH/L&HR junction switch and on west toward Greycourt.  I've also installed the Tortoise for the junction switch.  The west Maybrook yard throat has been laid out but not secured.  Below are a few pix of the recent progress.

Thanks also to Jeff & Marcus for helping out a couple Sundays ago!
