Beautiful night,full moon, light outside all the way to 8PM sunset.

Pitkin Branch
Gary removed the panels under the track for the extension into the Dispatcher area, then made a cross brace and cut a new riser to replace the current one. This will be installed on Saturday. Unfortunately, this will require removal of the current riser to track from Grays to Marshall Passin order to install the new one which will be closer to Grays and next to Sheds. The current one has to move "dowgrade", to accomodate the extension of the Pitkin Branch track which will wrap through the backdrop, under the Marshall Pass track and dead end in the Dispatcher space for staging the C&S/Pitkin Branch train.

Switch Panels
Applied another coat of polyurathane to the West Salida, Parlin, Poncha Junction and Marshall Pass panels.

Narrow Gauge Staging Deck
Continued spiking rail on 4th staging track (Baldwin Branch) along back wall. Other 3 tracks for Montrose staging are completed.

Saturday, April 20, 2013.

Gary and Hal met at the Village Inn for breakfast at 8:00 am. Work Sessions at the the club house.

Pitkin Branch
Gary and Hal modified the backdrop at Tank NO.7 in order to accomdate the increase in the length of the spur track for the C&S engine and cars which will be parked at Tank NO. 7. The next step is to build the road bed and supporting risers required to obtain a grade between 1 and 2%. This work must be completed before any additional scenery and structures can be placed at the Tank NO. 7 site.

Mears Junction
Jake worked on the scenery required at Mears Junction. Jake will also be trying for the first time to assemble hand laid switches.

Cimmarron
Hal will assemble a cardboard mockup of the stock pens to be placed at Cimarron, Colorado. A decision was made to make the stock pens removeable since they are to be placed on the moveable duck under.
