February 21 Work Session

We made progress on several fronts during our February 21 work session. Matt Glazer made some repairs and fill-ins to the ballast in Irondequoit Yard. We're also pretty sure he didn't glue a turnout shut in the process. Nick installed concrete paving for the engine house in Irondequoit, using more of the black styrene sheets as a base. An inspection put had been previously installed on one of the tracks, Nick was careful to work around it.
Otto messed around some more with his scratchbuilt bridge abutments and retaining walls that will carry Route 104 over the north end of Irondequoit Yard. The next step will be to scratchbuild a bridge and model the approaches.

Elliot and Joe C. made some repairs to the main line that is hidden away inside our "magic trianngle" between High Falls and the hidden Geneva block under Albion. We didn't think anyone could squeeze in there, by Joe proved us wrong.
