I got the return loop closed up, with a gap in the inside rail so the power routing switches.
It just needs testing to see if I wired the reversible polarity on the Southern main down the helix between the return loop in Harlow, and the onein Southern Staging.
I just have the wires twisted together, so if something is wired backwards, fixing it will be easy, although figuring it out might not be.
I have the two two track stub yards in, but Iwillwant to pull them out, as I’m almost out of Code 100 Peco flex, and will want to use what I have for the return loop at the end of the line.
I have some ugly Atlas code 100 flex I can use for the yard track.
Right now I just have these two Southern locomotives, but with four yard tracks, and the loop, I could easily handle five Southern trains, possibly six.
I had this Bowser Atlantic that Tyler found for me for $25.00. Thing is it had a Belphare firebox, making it a very distinctive Pensy engine. I finally got brave enough to cary the boiler to thebench grinder, and look Ma, no Belphare fire box.
I am also pulling the decoder from a Tyco 2-6-2 I was fixing up for the club. That will get me up to 4 Southern locomotives, and I have a Mantua 2-6-6-2 that similarly was getting DCC and sound for the club, but will get rebuilt as a Southern locomotive.
