60 years later I heard Mom, ‘John R, get out of that dirt!’ … I ripped out all the old cribbing and mine structure in/on the ground…
When I’m not just letting one run, I’m going to try to keep 2 trains moving…
The lower level track (above) leads to the car barn, it will be raised and tied in.
The board is a temporary ground to see what track I have and might want to do for the passing siding.
Now I have an option and I’m open to suggestions. As you can see above, the switch is a lefty, I have enough 10’D curve to move that switch
to the left of the junction switch. The obvious ramification is a dedicated route through the Reverse loop. The shorter passing track is plenty long for my short trains.
I’m leaning towards the full green because I want to add a grade to this route, earning the name; The High Line.
Reflection? Nope, copper oxide turns the stream blue.
