Quiet Time

Not a lot has been happening on the layout over the last few weeks for a couple reasons. First, it is really, really cold outside and the layout room is an unheated room off the garage. True, I have a space heater that will eventually warm things up but the trains are sluggish in the cold and it takes some time to warm up. Second, with the electrical issue I've encountered in the mainline passing through Irwin Yard, I have been discouraged.  I think I know how to fix it but to do the job right, I need to get some solder flux which I have been having trouble locating. Finally, we have been on vacation for the last week and of course, could not spend any time in the train room.
Hopefully I will get back in there soon.
