March update, got all my orders for various needed scenery material, local hobby shop for the Woodland Scenics stuff, Eurorail in Canada for the small scenery stuff, Scenics express for the major stuff, Eurotrain Hobbies for the weird stuff (Fleischman ballast for mainline) & of course a shout out for e-bay for the electrical parts & odd building material no one carries anymore.

OOPs: Also CVP Products for their invaluable help in the upgrade to Wireless & Version 6 of their equipment, sometimes no matter how smart you think you are you are not so smart and the guys at CVP are awesome!!! Thanks Al....

So, Tunnel in as the Ballast for the main line came, second tunnel in the works. Working on the big bridge area as the 2" rises came so I could get the height right and wonders be, no special shimming as it all lined up ( I will post pictures next month as I get it more closed in & finalized). All the bus & electrical switching complete along with the Easy DCC upgrade, LED light strips for under the layout came and work great to be able to see under the layout for the wiring fun I discussed last time. Got some of the road material so some of this is done as well.

I saw a U-Tube video discussing the the issue of not making the buildings look like they are built into the scenery and just setting them on top of it, so for the first time I took a stab at that with the switch tower, looks like it came out ok to me.

Here are some pictures of what I have done for the Fuel Depot Section. Long way to go...

Hey,

It looks like three of the images haven't uploaded properly? Can only see one picture and the other three are returning 404...

... which is a shame as I was interested in seeing them
