track_01

Looking down the code 100 yard tracks with the code 125 main and passing tracks on the right.

track_02

Curves, radius, snap lines..... It sure ain't like my old Lionel days!!!

track_04

Crossing from mail to passing inside the yards. This was needed to to move trains around the icing docks.

track_03

Looking into the yard entrance. Main on the left and passing siding on the right are the only tracks down so far. Best we could do is about 65 degree radius.

yards_2

Low angle of new yards.

yards_1

Continue to place wood templates and then lay the switches.

yards_6

Ladder tracks.

yard_tracks

Entrance into yards. Two turnouts to go and ran out of ties. Time to start dropping power wires while I wait for Kappler to make me another 500 piece bag.

The passing siding is needed because at the other end of the yard there is an icing...

yards_10

Looking into the yards. The track work is almost finished on this end.

yards_12

One more track to go.

yards_11

MicroEngineering track is a real pain in the butt to curve. The 125 was bad but the 100 was not to hard. It takes time and I found that if I cut through the bits of plastic between the ties, it's easier to work with.

No_6_Template

I built templates like this one for all three switch sizes that will be in the yards, 8, 7 and 6.
