My standard gauge mainline loop became operational this afternoon. My friend Bert Mahr came over for a visit and helped me finish the last of the wiring. After we found and corrected a few problems, like the two pieces of rail I forgot to wire, we successfully operated a train around the standard gauge mainline. Most of the track is dual gauge S/Sn3 but there are two sections where it is only standard gauge. All handlaid with Code 83 and 70 rail. I placed a picture of the train in the L&W folder. With all the recent talk about Spiral Hill hoppers, I used mine in the train. The Sn3 mainline completion should follow in a few months.
