Long time readers and RTRR operators are aware that the lower level (south) end staging yard is approximately 50% complete, with all the rails truncated at about half of the planned and intended length. The yard ladder for the other side is missing as well and the physical space has been used for storage of tools and supplies since the benchwork was completed last year.
This was done for a few reasons:
- To get the layout operating with south end staging
- Give some run time to focus on other tasks, such as signalling
- Allow for more planning time for the last bridge needed
As we have a couple of trains that aren't run during a session due to staging space, I decided that I would start to extend the tracks a bit. I haven't committed to building the yard ladder yet, but that is going to be a next year project, once the days for working outside and cutting wood are numerous.
Here is a shot of this work, in progress.
