We have to add some ground to allow the tracks to reach from the branch line turnout back to the factory and team track. If you look at the lower center, you can see the Homasote patch to add the necessary base.
This is an overview of the additional base. Ed and Paul worked hard to get the sub-bracing in on a recent train night. They then cut the Homasote to match the hole they were filling. My job was then to level everything up and finish the installation.
This is where we diverge from the branch main and head back to the plant. The patch was necessary to allow me to add another two turnouts to form a passing siding and a switch to another plant that will be on the wall.
The patch is set and now has been painted to match the rest of the cinder base.

The two turnouts have been located using the diagrams. They will be two Number 6 right hand turnouts in a row. I had to move the furthest one towards the rear as I had to deal with bracing underneath.
