Looking good, Tim.

Great progress.

I enjoy following the progress of your layout build. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Everybody for the compliments and encouragement.

While waiting for the additional red wire to arrive today, I completed the orange wire constant power to a PowerMax Plus and  powered up the remote switched for the first time.

And the red wire has just arrived. Ordered just yesterday afternoon from McMaster-Carr. There must be over a thousand feet of wiring in this train so far, with most of it red track power wire. That is due to the long runs required to bring the power to the future overhead control board. 

Thanks. 

Very nice!

track plan?

please explain the overhead control board.

Forrest,

The track plan is attached. A few sidings have changed or been added since this Jan As-Built.

By Overhead control board, I mean a panel like the attached example by the Stony Creek & Western Railroad.

Cheers,

Wow. That is cool. I hadn't seen anything like that before.
