First operations over the The Hill deemed a success.  No derailments on the new trackage.  Two fellows made the trip more than once.  I will be rebuilding Dave's Siding/Cookieville.  Not well done.

One Atlas GP 9 can handle 6-7 mixed cars up grades.  It takes two units/30 cars/caboose to have the caboose going one way and the power going the other entering High Fill.  This section of the layout should provide an approximate 100 ft. long helper role for anyone interested.  Started on some scenery but proper cable has disappeared.  Will be building a curved trestle for the High Fill scene.  

The amount of scenery to be done...and track work for super elevation and ballasting.....sounds great!
