After months of procrastination and several weeks of designing and rebuilding, I once again have a working railroad. It's been an exasperating time, even thinking about scrapping the whole thing and not having one any more. But patience and having people with a like interest to talk to, namely you guys, paid off. I was able to get out of the rut I was in and get back to doing. I'll post some pictures later, but for now, just a relief.
