Now I have about the same clearance here as at the closest point to the backdrop; about the thickness of my fingers. I tried about every feature I could think of off the TMCC controller, and they all worked except the rear coupler. I hear the sound and can feel the coil energize if I put my finger on the coupler, but the coupler doesn't open. I don't know if it is mechanically binding or what. Otherwise, it all works great.
I started a little more roadbed, but there isn't much new to show.
