The rebuild has begin

Track and Trestles
#41

And a big ol’ pile of spacers

#42

Ooh…that looks nice! That would be a tad hard to do with sectional track. Now, I’d run a can or two of gray primer along there before you put down the track - but that’s just me. :wink:

#43

I’m using that rustoleum ruddy primer, but Im heading to Home Despot a bit later and gonna get a gallon of cheap flat mixed. Cheaper that way.

#44

Cheaper…but more work. Ah…that’s what youth is good for… :wink:

Anyway, it sure looks good.

I’m waiting for those high tension wires to go in… we don’t need no steekin’ battery!

#45

The ol’ power sprayer works wonders!

#46

Don’t look like water would go through that hose very well and the mine looks like it has fallen on hard times, but the spline work looks great !

#47

I thought it was just the Leanin’ Mine. It didn’t appear that it had fallen on anything, yet.

#48

Everyone’s a critic!

#49

Oh…were we supposed to be critical? :wink:

Or, in some cases, go critical. (Heads for bunker)

Lookin’ good to me Bob. Don’t let Bruce pull your leg…after all what does he know…:smiley:

Keep up the good work before winter gets here!

Last year, I knocked off outdoor work around mid-october, and started indoor projects. It turned out we had a very mild beginning-of-winter last year (in the 70s until mid-January!) This year, I wont make the same mistake!
#54

I bought a heavier jacket just in case! Hopefully I’ll have the train barn done by September.

#55

Trackwork continuing today. Here’s the lower loop. Majestic Colliery Company is on the left. This loop gains about 15 inches of altitude in around 50 feet of run

#56

#57

Looking toward the second unfinished loop. The actual mainline will go RIGHT from here. The loop connection is only for constant running, and will not be used for operations.

#58

Looking back up the yard

#59

The loop in the woods. This is southbound from Burke Yard, and operationally, it wont connect to the lower loop.

#60

Another run to Home Depot and Ive procured enough Tuf Board to complete the second loop. Maybe tonite!

Gotta start painting it, too.
