NTS&B Starting Year 4

Its hard to believe that I started the first (non helix) module of the actual layout 3 years ago. Last year saw progress with Tinsel Town and the 'spring time' sections. which are about done (for now). It was also the first time the layout was opened up to the club. Progress is getting a little slower, because we've also been having some 'play' sessions with some club members, instead of just working on it.


This coming year, the progress will be less noticeable. The main thrust will be in taking the old layout down, and finishing the other side of the basement. The main goal for the NTS&B this year is to get the TMCC signal working correctly, the 'spring time' power station and controls completed, and working on the subway and mainline stations. Its doubtful any new bench work will be started this year, but who knows, stranger things have happened :) This year is also going to be the first time it is opened up to the public, by participating in the Piedmont Pilgrimage in mid Oct.
