Track Progress

Slowly but surely, I'm getting closer to running trains. I assembled the 3 2x4 boxes on the floor and then temporarily tacked down all of the track. This step took longer than I thought it would. There was some cutting and fitting involved, especially around the crossing, but mostly I took my time and tried to be very careful to ensure proper alignment between sections. I wasn't so careful when I laid the track the first time on my previous layout and ended up having to come back and re-lay it later to fix some problem spots. I have marked the outlines and centerlines of the track to guide the installation of cork roadbed, which is the next step.
