Well, the track plan has been decided on and now I am gluing the switch ties down to allow the passing siding from the main to the factory to be installed. We have the ties glued and weights on them to fix them in place.
Glue is dried and the tops of the ties have been sanded.
A look down the track to see where we have to connect to the trackwork back by the factory.
The first turnout is now built and the second is under construction. This is a little tricky as the turnouts are on a surface where the grade is ending and then flattening out. Also, I am standing on two stools and my head is pressed into the ceiling.
The second turnout is just about done, and I realize I have to extend the wooden ties by at least a couple to provide space for the ties of the diverging tracks to be placed.
Now the track beyond the turnouts has been placed. You can see there are a lot of sweeping curves involved in smoothly blending into the tail tracks. The left most track is a future siding for a building flat that will be placed along the wall.

A distance shot of the town of Shamokin, less a few structures. Now, on to the wiring.
