I had fixed it before, but this last time it grew to be a bigger problem affecting operations. I cut the track and have it in place, but had difficulty getting the Caboose Industries ground throws re-installed. Honestly, I don't know how they worked before. It must have been a small miracle. After screwing around with it for a while, I said forget this. I went rummaging in my electronics box for a pair of Tortoise switch machines. I only had one as I forgot I used one on the East Staging yard expansion project a while back. So, off to the hobby shop in Spencer on Saturday to pick up another one. I should probably pickup two just in case. I might need one at Bureau Junction as well.
So, here are photos of the little bit of progress tonight:
Turnouts removed at the AD1/AD2 crossover in East Ottawa Yard.
The rail issue I have been having. I have tried repairing, but there seems to be too much play preventing it from working properly. This is a key turnout when working the yard so I need to perform flawlessly.
Later in the evening, I worked on re-staging the layout. I have all of the cars parked at industries tabbed and ready to go outbound (or for internal transfer between industries). Next, I need to work on the inbound freight tabs.
