NTS & B Another Delay, to Denmark

Sometimes its hard making progress on the layout, when 'little' interuptions keep popping up. This one was a short trip to Allborg, Denmark, and surrounding area. A couple pictures attached.

Allborg, Denmark

Grenen, Denmark.

North most point in Denmark, where the Baltic and North Seas come together, as seen as the waves clashing in the middle of the second picture.

Skagen, Denmark

So many of the houses in Skagen are the same color yellow, that it was givin the official name of 'Skagen Yellow'

Lokken, Denmark

Nature is re-arranging the sands around the light house and old church. The light-house is almost totally engulffed in a sand dune. The area next to the old church is being erroaded away, and the church is in danger of falling into the sea, and as you can see from the picture after the church (from the front step), is a long ways down.

NTS & B North Pole Loop benchwork progress

Apr 2008 - Benchwork (shelfs) for the ceiling loop are painted and hung. Changed layout from plan. Originally had 2 passing sidings on shelf on wall next to helix. Decided this was bad idea. If have any problems with derailments, would have to climb over lower level to reach problem. Moved sidings to other side of room. The top picture shows the center room crossing, which is held up by 4 all-thread rods hung from the ceiling joists. The bottom picture shows the outside wall (opposite wall from helix) shelf, which will hold a 4 track passing siding. The shelf for the passing siding had to leave access to the outside water cut-off located in the above the ceiling tile that is removed in the picture, hence the odd shape.
