Prepping for school!

For those of you that don't know, I'm headed by to college this semester! So this summer has been busy trying to save up as much at my now former job as a truck driver. With the end of that job, I've fully moved back in with the folks, which feels somewhat strange in itself considering I've only really visited periodically for the past 5 years. With that, most of the time since I've quit was used to get moved back in to the point of actually being able to utilize my room more fully along with setting up my old 10 gallon aquarium, which has a few new features not seen back in 2000, when the tank was made!

And now back to the trains! A few more voltage regulators have been installed for Durkee Road. They've been installed with a terminal strip between them and the lights, with a few extra spots for future lights. Currently the street lamps and the porch light to the closed café have been done up with the other two lights planned to have one, too.

I've built up a Details West electrical shed for the grade crossing. It still needs to be painted, which might just happen for the next post. Hopefully I can figure out a way for it to have its light, possibly using fiber optics.

Next time the grade crossing should actually have its new gates and IR detection system installed. Might just have to get video of it for next time but don't hold your breath!

I can't remember if I've written about the gate yet or not, so here it is. I made it now a little while ago for the entrance to the warehouse, which SWIFT was not supposed to leave out of. It will likely still be a bit until I install it though.

Happy Modeling!
