WORKING ON THE RAILROAD.

Hand-spiking turnout assemblies to cross-ties is slow going.  Gluing three foot sections of prefabricated flex-track goes faster.

There is substantial progress on ten days ago.

I'm also learning about ways to adapt helicopter model controllers to model trains.  If that project works out, I don't have to bother with route selection at frogs, or with reversing sections.  Might even dispense with the time-sharing problems that arise on layouts with multiple command control throttles in use at the same time.
