So I’ve been doing some major tunnel work in the main room during November, but not really because I love tunnels. I’ll explain…
With the ramp up to the 2nd level now functional, I’m very excited about laying more track on the 2nd level. Right now, the track comes to an abrupt end once it reaches the top of the ramp and enters onto the 2nd level. I’m inches away from being able to lay my first switch on the 2nd level, which will be the start of a spur that splits off the 2nd level main line and goes to an industry. The spur line is going to include a REALLY badass trestle along it’s route. The problem is that I can’t go any further with the upper level until the tunnels beneath it are complete. So, I’m trying to bust through all this new tunnel work so that I can get to the fun part of building the new 2nd level of track! Although I don’t expect all of the tunnel work in the main room to be done until at least January, I should be far enough along to add the switch to the 2nd level main line and start construction of the spur line with the next few days. Fun times!
Oh yeah, about the huge trestle I mentioned…I’m terrified about it. I know almost nothing about doing trestle work, so that’s gonna be adventure within itself.
