22 Stories up - OPS Session - testing the three troubled turnouts

Sat, 2012-02-25 20:28 — Scarpia

At long last, Norman W and I were able to get together for an afternoon (it's been quite a few months!), an exciting development for me, as I wanted a "real" ops session over the replaced curved turnout sets of module 3.

"Shoo-fly" Free-moN Module (2'x6')
