Chris Osborn looking on as Dean and Ed continue their work on Global 1.
This week I also took a couple of videos...
Length: 1.09min.
I took another video tour of the layout.
Started out taking an arial videoshoot of the CNW EB Unit Coal Train.
Then I traveled the layout and ended up with an arial shot of Proviso Yard looking west.
Jordan and Josh took our Metra run into the terminal.
I like the way this developed.
Length: 0.11s
Here's the approach and the final voice of appreciation.

Home alone so I thought I would finish the sidewalks and fix the messed up pavement on Western Avenue. Take a look...
I finished pouring the plaster in the sidewalk molds.
Now over to Western Avenue repairs.
I scraped all the excess white plaster.
I kept the plaster in the low spot as shown.
You can see the cut out piece of asphalt I will lay over the low spot.
The glue is already in place.
There you go.
How's that look now?
Much better than it was, that's for sure.
One more shot of the sidewalk job before I leave for the night.

Today my goal was to fix the switch so the Metra 132 would no long derail.
Here are the pics to show the progress on the project...
Original layout.
See the kink?
I removed the track spikes and moved out the outer mainline.
That's better.
Reinstalled the ground throw.
Buried the feeder wires.
It may need to be shortened a bit to remove the strong curve.
I took a video to get another look.
