NTS & B Phase 2 Mainline Raised Loop Started

A short (app 6 feet long), but critical portion of the mainline track for the Phase 2 section is now complete. The plywood roadbed is suspended on the wall to save space underneath. I decided to use a 3 inch wide piece of plywood for each line instead of 1 (app 11 inch) wide piece, to maximize the view under the track. When the curves are done, they will probably be made out of individual 4 inch pieces for each line.

Now that this section is complete, the inner loops of the lower level can be completed, when track and time is available. The lower level had to wait, to allow access to support the upper level, without having to work over a bunch of track.
