Closing the Gap!
A big day in the small world. The out and back is completed with the last small curve. In a near future will the traffic Galesburg - Crawford Valley - Crawford Junction - Savannah via be reopened.

Long time...
Due too many other things the work on the Junction got lower priority a long time, but now it´s one the move again. One big decision been made, "Crawford Junction" (seen above) and "Crawford Valley" are now to separate module-sets but still on this blogg together.
Hopefully there will get som new grass and a lot of train running to test before the rail are painted and ballasted on the remaining

Test and trials
Puh!
After some work without pictures are Crawford Junction ready for tests and trials in the garage. The first trial was a short work for the switcher to change the loaded hoppers by the elevator to empty ones.
The NW-2 at the junction with the empty hoppers.
Ready, testing the brakes.
Out again. Here in the almost ready landscape on the south section.
Back in the Valley, pushing the cars.
And coupled to the loaded ones.

Hopefully it will be more pictures from further testruns in the future.

One, two and three
Here´s some pictures showing the principle of modularity. How it´s possible for Crawford to grow and fit several spaces
One - The small one, with a short track to a freight shed. South and North End(ca 109 cm)
Two - medium size, with a short run around and an additional track to a grain elevator on the Valley(ca 218 cm)
Three - Next step, with the Junction in place but the not yet grown sideways. (ca 330 cm)
Four, five, six... are still in the imagination of the builder.
