Fixed the table legs

Today I fixed the wobble in the table legs. I used some of the scrap 1/4 Lauren that I have to brace them. Works great. I need to get one more piece for the foam cutter and then I can begin cutting out my roadbed. I built the rest of the Bullfrog turnout controls. I need to stop by the hobby shop and get airbrush supplies. I plan to spray the ties and tie plates. Can't wait until after the 15th when I can really get some work done on my modules.

Fast Track orders arrived

My Fast Tracks order arrived. I built three of the Bullfrog turnout controls. Super easy to build and I'll give a full review once I get one installed. I installed the leg levelers on one of my modules. I'm not fully satisfied with how the legs turned out and will try to improve the wobbliness. Work has kept me from my layout. I hope once after the 15th of March, I can get some real progress done. Sorry no pictures.

Progress

I've placed an order with Fast Tracks for their Bullfrog turnout control. They look easy to install and are simple. I'm hoping my 2" foam does not interfere with the operation. I also ordered a new tip for my soldering iron and some super thin solder from Fast Tracks. I hope this solves my soldering issue. Since the order is coming from Canada, it should take about 2 weeks to get here so I'll have to find a project to work on in the meantime. Maybe I can finally install the levelers in the layout legs.
