Trackwork

Cold winter weather can either encourage you to work in the basement, because it's inside, or deter you from doing so, because it's cold down there.  I managed to finish laying the track for the inner mainline this weekend and started attaching feeder wires to the power bus.  You can tell by the photos what a massive construction site the layout is right now.

There are a few spots in the outer mainline that I'm not totally happy with - at some point they'll probably bug me enough that I'll re-do them.  I'm trying to balance the desire to take the time to do this right against the unnecessary expectation that it should be perfect.

Once I'm set with the wiring and track for the mainlines, the next step is to lay out the passing sidings and industrial sidings.  I need to read up on how to make the cork roadbed lower for the passing sidings.  Plus I'll have to actually make a concrete plan on where all the industries will be.
