Made more progress this weekend.  Got the scenery roughed in at Potomac Creek and got about another 20 ft of track and one and half  turnouts built. As I continue to tinker, I think I have solved the stub turnout bridle issue, two different ways. I posted more photos on my blog http:usmrr.blogspot.com. Here is a grainy shot of the General pulling a work train at Stoneman's Station.
