A Plethora of Peninsula Progress

Since the last update, benchwork construction has resumed and the basic peninsula framework has been completed. Also, the staging track work is completed all the way to the false wall in which the lower level begins (working railroad north)

Also, the radial benchwork at the end of the peninsula has been completed for both the lower and upper levels. Temporary fascia will be installed to prevent injury (ouch!).

All of the staging-level track work is complete and is now progressing at the lowest visible part of the layout as the main track proceeds from staging to the classification yard at Charleston, WV. The goal is to be able to have trains running between staging and a functional classification yard by the end of 2021. Backdrop installation will go far to “tidy up” the room.
