WHAT'S NEW
As of April 24th, 2009
The pace of construction has been maintained at a very high level since work began in June, 2008. Substantial progress is being made in the key areas of benchwork construction, tracklaying, scenery and electrical systems.
The benchwork is approximately 70% complete.
Over 300 ft. of double track main line have already been installed including major switches.
Our electrical crew is keeping pace by installing track busses and feeder wires. They are also completing the wiring of 22 individual AC power circuits for lights, the DCC system, room outlets and auxiliary power.
The scenery guys have pitched in by installing and painting more than 250 ft. of backdrop. In addition, work has started on a signature scene featuring a large concrete viaduct.
