NTS & B Jan 2009 North Pole Loop Yard

Track is in, and turnouts and siding power is wired. Still having issues with derailments so need to work on track leveling, and possibly another turnout replacement. Wall track just (barely) fits the Polar Express (with about an inch to spare). Front 3 tracks are shorter, but shortest should still hold a steam engine and 3 passenger cars (I hope). Also still need to wire in location sensors. I bought a string of Christmas LEDS that have a very wide visibility angle, which will be mounted under the appropriate tracks under the shelf.


Turnout and track power are controlled by switches mounted under the bridge. The power station containing the transformers is located on the floor almost directly underneath.







The Lionel Polar Express along with an MTH Christmas train with a few additional cars are parked in the new yard.
