I worked on various things today, but nothing photo worthy yet. I worked on the plaster subroadbed for the crossover from the main and connection to Ottawa Silica/LOF at the CB&Q junction.
This evening, I started to drill the hole for the ground throw, but wasn't having much luck. I then decided to change out the bit as it was just sliding across the throw bar. The new bit worked like a charm and sped up the process. I drilled holes and prepared the turnouts for installation tomorrow.
I laid out, but did not shape the flex track for the remaining mainline down to Peru.
I cut and prepared the PC boards and rail for the gauntlet track 2.0. I wasn't pleased with the first gauntlet track, so I'm taking another stab at it. I need to get busy as the borrowed tools I have need to be returned November 9th. My goal is to build two (one for Ottawa Silica and one for Belrose Silica). I hope to start soldering tomorrow night. I need to review the Fast Tracks video on soldering tips. The first attempt was loaded down with solder. I know I can do better.
