Not much progress on the layout this weekend. Saturday, I enjoyed a wonderful time operating Steve Holzheimer's Akron, Canton and Youngstown (AC&Y) Railroad layout.
Today, I worked on cleaning up the storage room (guest bedroom) while making the conversion from 1.0 to 3.0. I was just thinking today. I made this conversion in 10 months. Not bad! I believe I originally planned for six months, but there were some delays as you might expect with a project of this magnitude.
This evening, I worked on widening the road crossing at Mill Crossing. I noticed the original road I created was too narrow.
Also, when demonstrating to my cousin (who is a railfan) the crossing gates at Ottawa Avenue. When shoving a cut of cars north, he commented "that train was on the crossing before the lights started flashing." He was right. I need to move the IR sensors further south of the crossing. Shoving a cut of cars south at slow speeds works fine. I appreciate his input catching my miscalculation.
