Layout Expansion - New Track Update...

Well today was a very productive day, seeing the new staging area benchwork almost finished, all that is left is a small section of plywood and the drywall/plaster & cork to be laid and its ready for track.

The above section still to have the plywood installed with have the yard lead to the new staging, from the centre peninsula turnout just before the bridge.  It will also hold a couple of storage tracks & caboose tracks.

Below are the penetrations between the existing L&T area (old staging area) and the new staging area housed in the new extension.  This will connect to the new industrial siding on the south wall and will also help produce the new "wye" for the layout.

Looking from the old staging back into the new staging area...

I also managed to install the bench framework for the new Diesel Service Facility that will be  above the dispatcher/work bench nook.

Diesel Service Facility benchwork installed...

Breakthrough into the existing layout, this will have the lead to the service facility which will connect to the "interchange" track.

More to follow.
