After we finished building the dogleg addition to the Casey Jones Hi Railers layout last year we ended up with an orphaned 4ft module unused in the new configuration.
We couldn't let the old 4ft module just sit there and gather dust. We decided to build an additions 4ft module and expand the size of the CJHR layout. Work started on the new module this past Saturday. This module will have a 3 track girder bridge (Atlas) elevated above a new water feature. Here are a few picture form Saturday's work sessions.
The new module will be bolted in place and only have two legs in the center, if necessary.
Len, Ronnie and Dave assembling the frame for the new module.
Nep and Len assemble an Atlas two track girder bridge and an Atlas single track girder bridge into a three track girder bridge. They are working in the S gauge section of our model railroad club.
Mike test fitting the three track girder bridge.
Len checking measurements in the area where the new module will be inserted into the layout. The module will be inserted next to the curve module to the left of Len. The old 4ft module will be inserted at the right end of the city scene across the layout from Len.
Well, this is as far as we got on Saturday. We still have one more base for the center track remaining to be built. In the background you can see the return loop for the G scale club layout that runs behind the CJHR layout.
Hope to finish the new module next weekend and install track. If we are lucky we may even insert old 4ft module and the new 4ft module into the layout.
Thanks for looking at the pictures.
Have a great week,
Richard
