Plainfield Track Work

I have ben able to lay all the track work for Plainfield CT as well as getting it wired. I was able to test it out using the Rapido 44 tonner and an Ahearn GP-9. I did add a bit of width to the bench work to give me room to run the yard lead / line to Providence RI. It will just end there, but I need it to be able to switch the yard. 


This is a view looking south west at Plainfield. There well
be more low backdrop installed to hid the staging tracks. 

I have pulled back a little and you can see the diamond that
brings the Willimantic to Providence line through Plainfield. 

This is facing northwest. There will be a farm on the small hill.
The new addition to the benchwork can be see, I will
smooth the transition out when I add the facia. 

I do need to finetune the track and add a few more feeders (ran out wire). Then it is test and see how things work for operations. I also need to get the American Standard building flat built and painted and finish up s a few other structures. There is always a great variety of things to do on a model railroad.
