Well, there is ALOT new! The C/D ANALOG panel has been completely removed from the layout after many many many of years or great DC operations. A great thanks to all of those whom designed, built and installed the C/D panel. That panel was built to last, and that indeed it did!
Also, many of many scenery upgrades have been started, continued and completed. Please stop by to see the great additions. Multiple upgrades have been happening under the layout along with the backroom area has been completed. Plenty of work to still go on, stop by and lend a hand!
