It was a good week of activity as we finished off the final items of our part of the display. Progress was a little slower than expected. We did not count on all the happy onlookers who love to talk to us! They were very glad to see us returning. We have really ramped up the display with lots of additional features and we have expanded the track, trains, buildings, bridges, tunnels, trestles, electronics,and lighting. Plus we have added the Thomas, Lionel and Circus displays. Today Mac was doing a lot of wiring, Dick Rubin brought in a forest of very nice looking artificial trees! We added an automatic Station stop on the Maine line for the Downeaster. The audio is much better in person but take a look at the Amtrak as it pulls into the station, pauses and starts back up without any intervention by the operator. It is easy to run also (If you put a magnet on the bottom of your engine it would do the same thing). Without a magnet it will just go around the loop normally. Now, that is keeping it simple! Take a quick look: Please click here:
Note how nice and easy it pulls out of the station.
