Summer has arrived in full force here in the Northeast, with August-like temperatures and humidity to boot. That means less time inside and working on the railroad, but there is some news - namely that both mainlines are in-place and operational. I can run two trains at once, but in the same direction and only with about 4 units total - the amount that my old MRC Tech II DC transformer can handle! Because I wired for DCC, the mainlines are on the same power source, and so everything is on or off.
Also, CP 277 is fully installed and operational. Just two more interlockings to wire! At this rate, I think that a DCC system will be purchased later this summer, before yard tracks are installed. The jury is still out on that one. :-)
Photos to come soon include two trains at once, and shots of CP 277!
Preparation and construction of a basement-sized, HO-scale model railroad based on Conrail's operations through Central New York on the Chicago Line in 1994.
