Marcus made his cameo appearance tonight!
We sat at the dining room table and talked about
Adam & Eve. |
 |
| Placing the lampposts on the new road. |
 |
| Spacing out the lampposts for highest impact. |
 |
| Even the upper road will get some lampposts. |
 |
I finished making labels for the resting Intermodal
Train 2B. This is the End of Train Car (EOTC) |
 |
These section is the rear of Intermodal Train 2B
resting on Global 1 Track 5. |
 |
| The middle section (m) is on Global 1 Track 4 |
 |
Global 1 Track 2 holds the first part of the train or "f"
for "front". Global 1 Track 1 holds the next section
labeled Train 2B fm which stands for "front middle" |

 |
| The lampposts I ordered back on Dec. 4th arrived today |
 |
I started installing a different set of lampposts.
|
 |
I always test each lamppost before installing.
|
 |
| Here's what they look like on the layout. |
 |
| I like the stylish look of these lampposts. |
 |
I stopped here. Just three more to go.
More to come...tomorrow.
I hope. |

Working on sidewalk and finished installing last three lampposts
on the Long & Winding Road Project
 |
I still need to add the sidewalk apron to the street
and also secure a guard rail for safety reasons. |
 |
These are the last three lampposts of the set I started
installing last night. |
Next Step: Let's get these pups wired up.
 |
What the wiring job looks like from underneath
the layout. |
 |
| Another view. |
 |
| And still another view. |
 |
| One last look at the new wiring job I did tonight. |
 |
| And this is what it looks like on top of the layout. |
 |
| Another view. |
 |
| The final view with all 10 lampposts illuminated. |
YEAH!
That took about 1 hour.

More training at Tom Stover's today...
 |
That's my train running out of the picture.
Train 24 EB out of Denver |
 |
This is the front of my train heading EB through
the Breckenridge Industrial Park |
And more work under the layout getting CNW Engine Facility lights connected...
 |
Lots of wires under the layout.
This section contains lighting wire AND track wire
all in one place. Looks pretty messy. |
