The Yard is Back !!!

Nate and I "installed" the yard today.  I built the yard quite awhile ago and combined it with a 3 x 6 foot layout I had to form another layout.  This allowed me the opportunity to debug it.  It works great.  The plan is taken from John Armstrong's book Track Planning for Realistic Operation - the 1994 Edition.   The plan is for the smaller yard found in Fig. 2-9 on page 22 of this edition.  Combined with Digital Command Control (DCC) it can keep several people busy working it.

Anyway -- the first thing I did was lag bolt the supports to the wall. After this we moved the workbench back to its original position and put the yard in place.  That's it !  Now I need to get the wiring reconnected so I can at least run trains during those periods of procrastination.

Yards support in place...

And Voila !!!  The yard lives again...

Please ignore the incredibly messy workbench.  Next -- onto the benchwork.  May be a few days...
