Now that Elsmere Junction is pretty well in, time to move on to Wilmington Yard.  The yard is recycled from my previous layout.  It has a main, runner, 5 yard tracks, a caboose track, scale track and lead.  There were a few industry tracks on the back side of the yard, across the main.  Originally only #1 track was double ended, that has been expanded in the new design to 2 double ended and 3 stub class tracks.  All tracks are class tracks, I don't have designated A&D tracks, but normally the yardmasters use the runner, #1 and now #2.

Last night the area at Inverlael was hit by a small snow storm. And so today
the crew of the Ivatt had to shunt the snow covered Inverlael distillery.

I wish everyone of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Today I could finish the filming for my A day at the Garve and Ullapool Railway Series.

This is the update for 12 December 2015. The construction of the layout finally reached the Union Station (aka Kansas City Union Station) yard area in early December. I've left this area to the end because it will have the most complex construction piece, the engine facility in the middle of the east helix. Hopefully over the next couple of weeks, I can get a couple of tracks installed to join the layout from one end to the other. I am in the process of planning the design of the support structure for the engine facility that will be placed in the middle of the east helix.
