I now realize how far over my head I am with this project. I have a EXTEREMLY Strong tendancy to get distracted by every small or large detail as I am working on one "phase" of the layout. My goal was to get track laid down and powered up to run a single engine to see some progress. So I started at the atlas bridge and getting the bridge abutment aligned for safe travel. Then I went and started to paint/weather abutment while printing some trestles for the second mainline. Then the elevated trestles and trusses etc. needed painted and weathered.
I can see that I am trying to finish a section of the layout, which delays the track work and powering things up. My gut tells me I am working towards ... Yeah, my point is, I havn't a finished plan to build to! Or even a picture in my head. To illustrate this, I was working on the decent of one of the mainlines from the atlas bridge. Well the trestles took me to 2" of the table top, so then the cookie cutter was brought up. Now I need an abutment for the track to transition from elevated girder to raised hill! Whoops, there goes my focus again, lacking a plan to work towards. Any and all advice is needed! Thanks
