 Jordan Osborn and Josh Jones pulling bus wire under the layout.

 Ed Nelson & Carlos Baez soldering wire to track and then...

 ...under the layout using suitcase connectors to connect to bus wire.

Another shot of Carlos and Ed working under the layout making connections.

Dr. Dean Hatzis preparing glue injections into cork bubbles.

I haven't taken a video for quite some time.

Here's one just showing what's going on at the moment...
Dean is working on flattening the dip on the Proviso Mainline.

 Jordan and Josh working on inserting wire to "bank" the rail on the curve.

We were having all kinds of problems with the DC wiring system.

Carlos tied the current DC into the bus lines which took care of the problem.

Now we can run trains. 

Check this out.

Plus a little "socializing".
That's always a good thing!

Proviso Yard looking East. Trains running Westbound.
Not sure what happened at the end of this video.

I can assure you it was all worked out by the end of our session.
