| A Triple E8/9 |
A pair of Kato CB&Q E8/9 for my Zephyr. Still it´s a static model awaiting decoders in the new ones. And it demand some faster work on the mainline (train room) to allow som longer runs.

Trackwork
Some small works, one is to place ties in trackjoints as preparation for painting.
A little bigger work is to make a fake turnout to an abandoned industrial track. With some paint, gravel and grass it will be almost invisible :) (the white strip is styrene used to make the correct height)

Easter...
... means a week without work together with the kids. And of course some time building on the modules.
The two new turnouts laid together with some track. The two tracks at the right still waiting to be fitted and glued.

Expanding the module
First step is to expand the framework of 10mm plywood to the full lenght.
Then it´s time for the bottom of 4mm plywood
Third step is the upper frame with soundproofing styrofoam (2*10mm) inside
And todays last step is the top layer. some pieces of track show the plan, to the left a warehouse and to the right a coal dealer. The road to the left will be altered at the gate of the textile mill...
