Progress
by end January 2003
Over Christmas Paul relaid the main lines and much of the yard track according
to the Templot plans, leaving spaces for the pointwork (switches) except on the main lines
which where temporarily laid through to allow us to run trains. Paul and Chris cut up the
temporary Flagstaff mountain so that it could be permanently mounted - the gaps are over
the baseboard joints. A tunnel has been introduced to allow the track to run off the
modelled area at left. Steve started tracing photos of Susquehanna Street on his computer
- using Adobe Photoshop to "straighten out" the images and PowerPoint to trace
the outlines. Ian and Steve started to remount Mount Pisgah, starting with route 209
which has been built in plywood. All photos below were taken on the open night on Feb. 7th
and include the special train consisting of stock supplied by Eugene Mones of Jim Thorpe.
