Today everything is a disaster. It looks like a major earthquake has struck. The following tasks led to this messs:
1) removed mountain to create isolation in upper loop. this was accomplished by purchasing two short isolation tracks. The geometry then required the purchase of a third short piece.
2) Removal of the mountain provided an opportunity for a base coat of color. Our dirt has changed from white to brown.
3) This provided an opportunity for carving out the waterfall feature. A steel girder bridge was ordered too bridge the chasm (maybe 40 feet).
4) Installation of one of the lower tunnel portals was accomplished today. More block work is required inside the tunnel.
5) We received a shipment of three uncoupling tracks that can be converted to half tracks for the yard.
6) Two priorities emerged: complete block wiring with a cleanup of wiring strategy and color coding; AND create an underground storage area.

Operations are halted for three days. There may be some opportunity Friday night for some clean up.
