MRH 120 day challenge, Progress report #1
I posted some pics over in the challenge thread of where my layout stood the day after Memorial day and what I hoped to get accomplished by labor day. In no certain order the plan was to finish up track laying and wiring, get the fascia done and get the valance and lighting in. Anything else was "gravy"!
And so, it begins....
Since I just got the room finished, and am starting to do Real Work, Brian Michael's "120-day challenge" (a.k.a. "Get something done on your layout this summer") came along at a good time. So here's my N-scale Algoma and Northland Railway as of yesterday:
Rogers Pass 1885 - Finding the Track Plan

I was in luck because a detailed survey was make on April 14, 1887 by A.L. Poudrier for the CPR and has been redrawn by R.D. Turner for his book on railroading in British Columbia.
MRH Forum Challenge...
I like the idea Bill Michaels has come up with to set some goals for building on our model railroads over the summer. Sharing our ideas, progress and hopefully final creations should be not only great fun but also very motivating for all of us.
Here is my project and what I want to do with it. Please if you have any ideas, let me know!
Some Big Time Progress on the 8th Sub
See what I did there? The progress in question relates to fast clocks. I finally made sufficient headway on the dispatcher's office to install the fast clock master module. I'm using the Time Lynx from Rail Lynx http://rail-lynx.com/accessory_modules.htm. Unlike the clock that's integral with my NCE DCC system, the Time Lynx is variable in tenths of a "fast" hour anywhere from 1:1 to 25:1. It was also more cost effec
