Waterville & Washington Railroad

This week has the completion of installing foam. Once the glue dries, I will carve the foam in to the final shape. Next, I will cut down the sides of the module frame to make the frame follow the ground contour. After that step, I will begin the bridge installation.

I've completed the splines for the roadbed and have wired the layout. I still have to add the feeder to the track once installed. Plus I have to wire for the Digitrax deal (I run NCE so I don't have to worry about it until I want to run it as a freemo module). I'm excited because my Genesis Mopac GP15-1 has arrived finally. Time to get some track laid so I can hear and watch this beauty run.

I have finally been motivated to do a little work on my model railroad. First is a picture of the new module I am building. Greg Baker designed and built the initial frame and I've been working on installing the spline roadbed and building a few additional support sections for the bridge. Where you see the level is where the Coon Creek bridge will be located. Next you see the progress on the metal plate girder section. Scale Segmental Bridge Co. cement bridge sections are also located in the picture. I have not forgotten about Waterville. It's on hiatus until I can finish the Coon Creek bridge section. I hope to have the bridge ready for show at the Mid Continent Prototype Modelers Meet in November.
