The Seven Locks & Earl RR is a work project I have been working on. I have been rebuilding some of the stone walls, leveling and ballasting, redigging grades (one was about 6%), building building kits (Piko & Pola), staging and lighting them and setting out all the little folks. I also built wood and stone portals to run under “deck mountain”. Last night, I helped out with a photo shoot for a “lawyers and their hobbies” story for the magazine “Legal Times”. The layout is a big double loop with two additional point loops. It is all RCS battery power. The layout also features a few EagleWing bridges. The track plan -
The West End (Seven Locks) -
The town of Seven Locks - I put together the station (repainted), shop, general store, and gas station
I also put together these tractor and wagon kits. I wired the tractor headlights into the landscape lights used for the buildings. The headlights are LEDs with the help of a bridge rectifier and 1K ohm resistor.
