October 30 club meeting photos

President J.C. Mayer watches as a very peculiar "mixed train" makes its way through the first completed sections of the helix. This structure will allow trains to climb out of hidden staging into the visible portions of the model railroad.
 
Prof. Scudder would be proud... A proper Pennsy K4 makes its way along freshly laid tracks, past the temporary set-up for the DCC command station and power boosters.

J.C. conducts the Tuesday meeting and gets everyone up to speed.
 
At the Tuesday meeting, we finalized the design of the hidden staging yard, essentially allowed for "four east" and "four west" connected by return loop. Matt Glazer takes inventory of our remaining switches and track.
