With the start of the school year, train time has been hard to come by lately. I'm continuing work on the upper level and I've put down a fair amount of roadbed and started on placing track. Lots of work is being done to turn out additional turnouts from the fast tracks jigs; I've started to seriously thing about a way to automate the filing step as it takes longer to file all the angles and notches than it does to solder the turnout together.
A few pictures to illustrate where the process is:
 |
| A 3/4 view of one of the industrial sidings; the cork is sanded down to a ramped profile so the actual car spots will be directly on the homasote, lower than the through tracks. |
 |
| View down towards the crossings and Interchanges. |
 |
| First two turnouts are down. |
 |
| Trackwork... Emphasis on work. |

| Gluing cork |
