Lots to report this week.
I started off the week going to the DuPage Co. Train Show.
I bought 4 #4L hand switches for Proviso Yard.
I also bought 7 sections of flex track for $10.
Another great buy. Two great buys at the monthly train show.
When I got home I could hardly wait to get downstairs to install my new items.
Here are some pics...

Looking at East Proviso Yard EB Yard.
This section will be completed tonight.
Looking West at Proviso East EB Yard.
Unfortunately you won't see the finished product tonight because the glue under the cork is being set.
Here's another view. Wide-angled.
Then on Tuesday night, Pamela McLane and her husband Jim with their two grand kids came by to see the trains run. Here they are.

More work on the feeder wires.
Here are some pics...with captions.
Ed Nelson & Dean Hatzis prepare for the feeder wires.
Ed is drilling the holes on the outside of the rails for the solder crew to come by and attach the wire to the rail.
Getting a closer look. Dean making sure this is done right!
Not far behind is Carlos Baez and Jordan Osborn (just beyond Carlos).
Dean making the solder connection.
Jordan Osborn cleaning the rail heads.
Carlos getting ready to solder using the mirror as his guide in close quarters.
Rob Fair joined us again tonight.
This time working on the feeder wires.
Another action photo.
Ed Nelson kept up the pace by leading the team with drilling the holes for the feeder wires.
Look at the next two pictures.
Which one shows Dean Hatzis putting on make up and which one shows he's soldering the wire to the rail?
Multiple uses for Jan's mirror.
Did you figure it out?
Carlos gets into the mirror act too!
And our final picture of the evening is Jordan separating the wires.
Welcome back, Jordan and Ed, we missed you two last week.
