Tuesday night at the Huff and Puff

All of the upper mainline track was laid and test by running cars through every turnout and track joint. Lots of eyes sighting down the track to check alignment and make final adjustments.  Finally, small sections of ballast was glued down to hold everything in place.

Upper mainline leaving Springbank. There is a short passing siding there for the coal mine. The sidings to the coal mine also need to be installed.

Mainline leaving Lincoln back to Springbank. This is the passing siding for trains coming and going from Lincoln. The logging line trestle (yet to be installed) is to the left.

Branch line as it loops around the back of Lincoln. At the top left you can see the start of the benchwork for the branchline where it will loop back around, away from the mainline and head for Ortona.

Bus wire guides being installed. We decided to keep the 4 pairs of bus wires separate this time.
