The Golden Joiners

It took a long time, but it had to happen one day. Today is the day: the last piece of Llagas flex track has been installed. THAT’S IT!

Others have Golden Spikes, I have Golden Joiners.

When they were building the 1:1 railways, driving that last spike didn’t mean the trains would roll right-a-way, same here. Next up on the list: electrical infrastructure e.g. DCC bus, CAN bus, distribution boxes, track feeder wires plus a local control panel for Thusis.

Plenty more to do, no rest for the wicked.

Why did I choose DCC?

Since I already had a ZIMO system (for the HOm layout) with plenty of umph and a gazillion features, that multiplied rapidly as I was building, going any other route would have meant duplication and missing out on features. Just in case someone meant to ask.

Hans,

Congratulations on this phase of your project being completed.

Best,

TJ

Thank you Tim!

This is the interim situation; track down, lots to go.

Apart from the electrics it’s also back to “schlepping” crusher and crusher fines to fill in/up to below the ladder road bed.
