Day 3 (and 1 & 2)

Working on one of the many projects I've got underway. I allow myself no less than 15 minutes a day working on my hobbies.  Sometimes more but never less. It might mean I can only sand on small piece of wood but I get 15 minutes! I also have several projects underway to help meet time and interest constrains.

As the photo below shows, EZ track (and foam) is shifting out of the way of for flex track and #6 turnouts. The bottom level will have a test loop with wide(ish) 15" radius curves. There will also be a couple of holding tracks down there. The green lines are 1/2" spike tape to remind me of the setback. This track will mostly be hidden behind the facia (.060 styrene) and under removable scenery / structures, so no fear of meeting the floor. It's my hope to get it in and working this week. Once I have that, I'll turn my attention to the next level.

Now that the ballasting was complete the next task was to tidy up the front edge of the module by installing a fascia.  The foam had already started to fray in a few places so it was time.

So after a few cuts with the jigsaw, a bit of sanding, some liquid nails and clamping at last I had a fascia.
