Tuesday night at the Huff & Puff

Wow, a lot of people on holidays, but the action continues.  As a couple of junior members ran their trains there was a lot of eyeballing of the upper loop. As this loop will be mostly for passenger trains it is very important to get the track layout correct. Trying to avoid any "S" curves we moved the opening through the backdrop farther down the wall. We may put in a turnout and use the old part as a siding to a hidden industry, like Sifto Salt.





That way the track can angle to the left, in this picture, and we can use left hand turnouts to continue the left hand curve coming through the wall. The tracks coming off the turnouts will run straight, about where the level is, before entering the right hand curve of the loop.
We did get the ceiling tile down and almost ready to go.





We are still up in the air about if we should move the mainline turnout at the start of the loop, back or not.
