GN Cross Over Install

 Track has made it all the way to the GN cross overs; making progress.

Fascias

 Long time associates of the Richmond Terminal will remember that the old layout was very raw in feel, with a severe lack of finish or expected polish.

On version 2, we are working to produce a higher quality product.

Fascia is reused 1/8" masonite from the previous layout's backdrops, ripped to 5" wide and painted flat black.

GN Cross Over Build

 Here's a couple of shots of the build process for the crossovers at GN Control Point.

Here's the LH in the Fast Tracks jig.

All soldered up

Both crossovers cleaned of flux and getting ready for ties.

GN Cross Overs Planning

 A couple of shots showing the layout, testing and first few stages of the crossover build.

We will start with a low angle shot; the overall design calls for two #10 single crossovers, followed by a single RH #10 to give us a lead into the Amtrak station track.

A higher altitude shot.

Once satisfied with the general layout, a wide angle shot with rail being measured and cut.

A break from the #10s

 Had to build a number 6 for some industrial trackage.

Here's where it will be installed.
