>From about Thanksgiving of last year until just recently I have not done any work on the layout and have barely run it. With the house improvements and lots of "other things" the layout has not been a priority. Last night and tonight I ran trains for about an hour after dinner. It does a body good!
I almost "operated" tonight. The SW1 went down to the REA building, picked up a B60 on 1 track, a X29 and B60 on the other track, left them on the runaround, came in from the other end and stuffed them up to the waiting E8. When I saw the runaround taking shape in the track plan I knew I needed the REA area. Perfect - just as I planned. 2 B60 and 1 X29 fit perfectly on the runaround closest to the REA building. There is another runaround a little farther away that is longer. I did a little more tweaking of turnouts tonight than last night. The B60 & R50b are really picky beasts because of the trucks hitting the anti-sway blocks - just like the real thing! There is not a lot of play & movement there..
