NTS&B Phase 4 started

A couple friends wanted to help work on the layout, so last weekend they came over and we built 2 modules.  I started out the weekend and week before taking out the temporary turn-around at the end of the yard.  Wayne, Paul, and Paul Jr  spent most Sat building the 2 3x8 modules, and Paul Jr got one of them painted.  I have been working since then to get the legs under it, finish up the painting, lay the trackwork, and get he second layer supported.  Here are some pictures of the help, and how the new modules currently look.

 The help.  Hard at 'work'

 Hey, somebody's got to do the work !

 'We got legs, and know how to use them' (kind of).  Lower module installed.

 Lower module with track installed. Probably the last time this portion will be visable.  Unpainted part is new temprary turn-around.  Perminent modules probably won't be until after Jul or Oct.

View with both layers installed.  Still have skirts, under layout, upper level support, track to install, etc
