Well, the Railroad Park Module is fairly complete.  If you click here you will be more pictures of my progess.  Of course, you know no layout is never complete, as there is always something more you want to add/change.  However, I have added most figures and features that I want to display.  Maybe some ducks...  On to my Auto Loading Facility.
 

I've been working on my two new modules.  They are continuations of the first two and so I thought I would try to blend them in as much as possible.  One is going to be a Railroad Themed Park and the other will be an Auto Loading/Unloading Facility.
 

It's so freaking hot in my garage. It reaches 100 degrees and I can only work on my layout for few before I have to call it quits and go inside to cool off. At this rate, I'll finish next year sometime. Probably in winter, where I'll freeze my a$$ off, no doubt. I mounted all the bus lines and starting to drop the feeders. I'll solder to rails next, but only when it cools off.   Maybe at night.  The first photo is showing how I'm connecting the end of the bus lines.  Starting from the right, is the 3 main lines, my module track and the last set is for lights.  I'm using 12 gauge bus lines for track and 18 gauge for lights.  This works perfect with the 10 post terminal strip from All Electronics.  This store is great, it's in Van Nuys.  You could always get the ones found in hobby stores.  The come from Miniatronics Corp, but there are three to a pack.  One for each end and a spare, I guess.  I also fasten the bus lines down to the frame to keep them sagging and catching during transport.
