Portland & Yamhill's #204 is spotted at an (as yet unnamed) industry. 

The track is Atlas HO code 83 on balsa wood ties. Since I have mislaid my bag of spikes, nothing is nailed down. I'm just experimenting with techniques. Proof of Concept, as it were.

Just completed installation of the control panel with programming track for the Tri-County CO-OP on my layout, the Trenton Subdivision in N Scale.

I have a curve and I need a gap in it. I want to keep the industrial area off of the main line detection circuit.

The radius between the two turnouts is not close enough to a commercial curve, so I'm using flextrack (the radius about 16" in N scale). I tried using insulated joiners at either end, but they don't hold the curve.  Either the track pops out or there is a kink at the joint.  So I soldered the joints and now I have to cut gaps somewhere in the result.

Part-II of my how to video on installing and weathering track is now posted to my channel. 

Enjoy!

We had some issues with the UWT-50 injection molding that took a while to figure out. The injection molder still isn't finished, but hopefully they'll be finished soon.
