Update 3

     It's been a month since my last update, but unfortunately, not much can be said

      Besides the 2 buildings I've posted in earlier posts, I finished drilling all the holes for the turnouts. Now I need to install 23 tortoises, well 21 since I already did 2. I'll be wiring Card Edge Connectors so that it will be easier to connect to the tortoises instead of soldering all the tortoises. I encountered my first problem with EBay, never got those connectors I paid for, but EBay reimbursed me, so now I need to find another supplier.

      I've also finished the top part of the layout, so now I can start working on installing those RGB LED Strips






     I've been working on my cement industry but had stop while waiting for trucks to arrive so I could finish how the layout would look like. You know me by now, I don't like building stuff that looks like the picture on the box.




     Still working on soldering the feeders to the track. I've prepared all my terminal strips for my feeders, that way all I have to do is screw it in.



     For the next couple of weeks, I'll still be working on the cement factory, feeders, cement base for the container yard and the lights in the top of the layout.

     I decided to attach the wires of my control to the end of the layout to see if everything was ok ........... and it was, so enjoy a little video of my Canadian Pacific Alco-S2
