Well I've got all the 30" gauge (HO) track down. Now it's a matter of getting it all wired up. There are a few "dead spots" in the track which I need to either run more feeds or whatnot, but I can start to feel the layout taking shape now.
I took a break from track and wiring (and to be honest wiring is probably one of the more dull parts of putting this together) to carve out a rough river bed for the miners. I just need to pickup some primer and I'll give these guys a paint job too.
