Refinery almost gets to swap meet.

The N' Crowd's Bayou City and Gulf RR is divided into eight districts or sub-districts currently.

  Sub-districts

Sub-districts X1 - X4 are on the PM42 associated with the command booster; sub-districts Y1 - Y4 are on the PM42 associated with the ancillary booster.   The entire lower level is Y4.  Y3 has two disjoint pieces.   X4 is entirely a reversal section as is Y2.

This is a good approximation to the lower level track in the left-hand drawing and the upper level track in the right-hand drawing followed by a simplified drawing that shows possible sub-district boundaries and reversal tracks.

Here is best picture of my N scale Model AA stake truck in a diorama.

My first scratch built structures - the first from photographs, he larger one from architects plans

The small L-shaped building in front was rendered from photographs. Since the module is still in my messy office, I added cars and trucks, which are not as good as the cars and trucks I will add to the module after it is installed in Oscar's office.

My contribution to manual turnout control with live frog

The PVC inserts protect the control rod during transport and while on exhibit.

 

 

If scale model dummy switch stands in N scale are available, one might figure out where to put them so that they look right.  Any suggestions?

Here are ten possibilities for the placement of insulating joiners just in case someone wants to refer to them by number.

Our final suggestion for show provided:

1. Farrel is willing to accommodate a temporary two-track version of his second module.

2.  Mark will bring his steel mill modules.

3.  Paul Bender decides to participate.
