Setup Day Two at the Maine Mall

Today we finished the track on the 30" platforms. Dennis & Ben finished the two main loops while Terry and Courtney worked on running the wiring. The outer main line has run a train!!

Ben and Sam ran the trolley tracks on the Mountain Platform. It was adjusted to run around the Mountain to the base of the Ski Lift. This will leave an area open for buildings and avoid having the trolley running under the ski lift cable.

The Holiday Train Display will have nine operating lines

             The Ski Lift will have button #5

Setup will resume on Thursday to test the tracks, wire the mountain track, and put the mountain in its final position. Buildings and decoration will start on the Thomas/Percy and Town Platforms. The Mall will be doing final touch up on the weekend, so buildings on the Mountain Platform will wait until next week as will the water feature track and buildings.

Here is the current plan showing the Percy Figure 8 (thanks to Art Shean)  and the changes in the trolley around the Mountain (thanks to Terry).

Percy changed from Oval to Figure 8
