The blitz continues....

We're still making good progress on laying track. Hope to get a lot more done tomorrow on the last day of the blitz.  

Miles is hard at work putting the last piece of the upper level main in. Miles and Fran have been a HUGE help in getting the upper level in. I've learned a lot from them so far and get something new each day.  

Here we see the first train make the loop around the upper level. I can now make a complete run from around the lower level, up the helix, around the upper and back down the helix. I plan to get a clock out soon and time the lap. 

We've also started on the first area to get scenery. This is the HWY 82 underpass. The bridge was scratch built from Rix beams and scale lumber. The abutments were cast with U-30 plaster and the piers were custom done by Scale Segmental Bridge Co. This will be one of my favorite scenes.
