Alvin All-Star Railroad (AASRR)

Train Layout (HO) - 3/26/02





Two things went on today...

First, the final coats of paint and window strips went on the enginehouse. These won't be visible in these pictures as they are off in a separate area drying.

Second, we practiced running the trains. Oh my gosh! The layout diagram did help the students locate the toggle switches for each track block, but it was still quite a challenge to keep two crews (one on each half/side) busy and out of trouble.

I didn't have a moment to snap pictures while the youngsters were involved, so what you see here was taken after they had left. You'll notice new placements of train cars and train consists that you've not seen before. This is because I left the trains just "sit where they were" when the students were done.

Notice that there are now some vehicles on the roads!

In the picture below, the square "bald spot" with three railroad tracks running into it is the location of the last building to be completed - the enginehouse.
