Progress Report 11.09.10 - T Minus 11 Days

11 Days until the Big Show!

Progress continues on the layout.  Installed a longer industrial lead track at Blue Island Freight House to avoid access issues to the slide switch behind it.  Installed a temporary track for Davenport Shops.  Davenport Shops are not expected to come online until early 2011.  Glued the roadbed for the entire CNW branch line.  Installed four more slide switches in the Davenport Industrial Park.

Slide Switch Progress Report:

West Davenport Yard (Staging) - None installed.  One will need to be engineered as it interferes with the Continental Grain Company building.  Two scheduled to be installed.

Davenport Yard - All, but one installed.  Again, one will need to be engineered to fit between the yard tracks.

Davenport Industrial Park - Complete

Rock Island - Main & Siding Complete

Rock Island Industrial Park - Four scheduled to be installed.

Bureau - Complete

Stockdale - Complete

Joliet - Main & Siding Complete

70 Total on the layout, 51 complete, 19 to go

With a reasonable amount remaining to be installed, I will increase my installation efforts and push to have all complete before the operating session.
