It will always be up and locked when the layout is not in use.

Ready to operate? Goodness no – there’s a lot of track repair that needs to be done before I get the wiring back on. But just to have it this far is an amazing feeling.

Ignore the chaos and clutter. It’s an active work zone.

They’re not connected yet, and I’m not redoing the wiring until I get all sections connected. But it’s satisfying to see it starting to come together and put a couple of cars on.
