More work on this Tycofusion layout. Developing a mountain, the trick will be to drop
the edges down to the upper track and then a pretty much vertical ledge down.
That nice little Bachmann Southern Crescent has been a major headache. Already
it has been sent back to Bachmann twice for valve gear coming undone or out of
center. This is its third go-round. We sure wish they would dial up quality control.
Well, it runs...for now.

Looks like that layout is continuing to take shape!! Nice work, to both Jimmy and you, Chops.

Two of my favorite artists, and Jimmy. The telegraph key I discovered at the
Las Cruces, New Mexico Train Museum the other week. I got to playing around on it.
Quite fun, actually.
New Mexico is a bit curious in that it is largely desert wasteland, perfect for
testing nuclear bombs, but in these little towns like Clovis, Alamogordo, Las Cruces,
and Belen, there are, or have been, these startling well stocked toy train displays
and museums. Clovis, in the middle of UFO country, Area 51 and all that milarky,
had an astonishingly large layout of the Australian Outback, circa 1910. It
filled most the room with a depiction of said deserts, with one tiny thread of
track working its way across the expanse, featuring a single steam locomotive and
a string of three coaches. The effect was most vivid.
Presently Jimmy and I are sculpting out the mountain, using broken ceiling tile to create
an escarpment for the upper loop of track to follow upon.
