 I added a couple of yard tracks to the Metra-WeGo yard.
Work in progress...

 Finished. Added the two north tracks you see in this picture.

 Then I went out in the garage and finished cutting the cork for the mainline to prepare for the Train Crew coming on Wednesday.

A closer view of the cut cork.
