It seems that it's getting longer & longer between my posts; I didn't realize that the last update was April 9. Well, be that as it may, the big news for today is that the mainline is complete & operational from east staging (New Haven Cedar Hill Yard) to west staging (Phillipsburg/Allentown). I've made some other progress, too, including installing the New Haven line from Maybrook to Campbell Hall, which serves as E/L staging, and I've gotten started laying track on the long delayed Ogdensburg branch. I've also installed slide switches on all mainline and yard turnouts & have installed linkages on all but 4 or 5 of them. I think now that the mainline is essentially complete I can actually start running some significant test trains, which should reveal where fine tuning is needed--at least I hope that only fine tuning will be needed!
For what it's worth, this coming Thursday is 6 months since construction began. It seems longer ago than that, but it's not.
