Winter 2026 layout update

It's currently getting into the 30's at night and that is about as winter as it gets here so it is time for a winter update.  Progress on the Lovelock expansion section for the layout is progressing in between other projects and activities.  Again this winter I am participating in the annual Trainboard Winter Layout Party and have been posting regular updates on that thread.  The fascia and the control panels for 6 turnouts have now been finished.
















Also, the ballasting of the track has been started and is now about 50% done.  And a few of the details of the grocery distribution warehouse are also being worked out.














I recently picked up a pair of the new Micro-Trains Railgon gondolas which will be used on the layout.  This model is most likely going to be the last new body style released by Micro-Trains as the company was purchased by Atlas in November.   A future project will be to weather these.
