Lee,
There is nothing like a deadline to get in the mood. Having been in
that situation many times, I wish you luck in making all that stuff
happen. The last time I saw you and your layout was in Oregon I think.

Having committed to layout open houses both after Scranton and for the
NMRA during model railroad month in November, it was time to get
cracking on having the layouts ready. So . . .
On the S/Sn3 PRR/EBT permanent layout, I'm working on electrical
controls and turnout controls -- pragmatic things like finishing the
DCC control bus so I can debug track close-up, installing shut-off
toggles to isolate sections of the layout for faster troubleshooting
of shorts (something that events of the weekend underscored as a
necessity. I've installed a hinged lift-up section in place of the
duckunder in recognition of my increasingly bum knee.
The Sn2 modules are up in an arrangement that hopefully will
facilitate some scenery and track repairs necessitated by a
hard-knocks trip from Pennsylvania to the Springfield, MA show in the
very cold January weather. For example, some of my pine trees look
like they had an encounter with Hurricane Sandy!
Nothing like having scheduled visitors to get things rolling.
