Finally an update, I have been working on this…alot actually. I just have very limited access to upload pics to here, so here are the updated pics.
Track is down, wired and fully operational, although I do have to regrade the far corner to bring the grade down a little, not a biggie.
Control is optional, a single LGB pack directly wired to the track and a second unit with an Aristo Basic Train Engineer for walkaround control. block control is via simple knife switches, on or off, under the little shed looking thingies.
First pic is before finish wiring was in place. Second is after all the wiring was complete and buttoned up, last is the portable control unit, bot simply nest on top of a 4x4 post.
I’ve also since finished paving inside the pit area, It’s coming together.
