Tonight I spent some time marking of the catenary mast for the S bend towards the tunnel entrance.
Then I did a bit of testing, had to check that the Big Boy clears the masts, bridge and tunnel portal.
All clear.  :thumb:
Some photo's as proof.

Nice, it is the small details and finishes that make our layouts so much more real and fun to build and operate.
Well done  :thumb:

Sorry no update for a while, was busy figuring out how to best identify the wiring.
Considered a few options and finally settled on Booster number, track, signal and so forth.
First one done.
B = booster
4 = booster number
T = track
S = signal, seeing that I am using a signal system that changes the current on the track to DC when signal is red
I have to have 3 sections for every signal.
Safe is the change over section that has to be longer than a pick up shoe, because if DC goes into the track it will smoke the booster.  :eek:
Brake section is self explaining.
Stop section is to make sure that the train does stop in case it was to fast.

Photo from the top, first wires connected.

That's grazy! :eek2:
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
