The Connector

Bruce dropped by last night and we had a very productive time. I had laid out switches from the old layout and some pieces of flextrack to gives us an idea of the track flow and especially density in the Irwin Yard. Bruce had drawn that section of the benchwork 18" deep and I decided to build it 20" for a little breathing room ... and we can use it!

Connector in place except for the lift out

Once of the things we decided was that the connector benchwork really needed to be completed so we can plan the curved transitions from left and right as well as the placement of the cross over on the lift out section to maximize the tails on either side allowing some operation if the lift out is removed. After Bruce left, I pulled out the compound mitre saw and got to work. Not too bad!
