Well another month and some days have passed.  The club has made some significant advances.  With the addition of a new member, Brad, we have nearly completed the SP yard in Phoenix AND the Union Station yard.  the only section of the lower level that needs track is the Phoenix industrial area including Sky Harbor fueling, Tovrea Stock Yards and the power plant, along with the bridge across the Salt River.

Work continues in the engine maintenance facility with feeder tracks from the SF yard being intstalled to the turn table.

Controls have expanded as well.  The table side plugs are in place and operational, the wireless feed is in place and operational and the master power unit has been moved to a central location under the layout.  Next on the control side of things is the power feed to turnouts and system lighting.  This will establish the next key part of having the entire layout ready for full lancscaping.

The trees in the GIlbert orchard are showing oranges, as it should be, and these will add one more level of realism to that section of the diorama.

More next month.
