Some good progress on the layout as of late, I’ve been derelict in my duties posting updates. Most of the work has been focused under the layout or securing supports:
- Applied Appalachian Mountain Backdrop from Backdrop Warehouse
- Glued down elevated table supports to Homasote using LiquidNails
- Added a second AIU to the layout
- Wired all 16 Fastrack switches to MTH DCS AIUs so they can be controlled via the DCS Wifi App (I got tired of having to pull out my 90s-era Cab-1 remote every time I wanted to throw a turnout and I like the ability to set up routes)
- Ensured track power drops are all connected correctly (with track shifting during adjustments, the spade connectors often disconnect)
- Painted remaining BridgeBoss supports as well as scratch-built truss bridge supports flat black
- Mocked up final locations for buildings
Here are some photos of the layout as it is today:
