NTS&B M&M Home

Last year my daughter gave me some M&M people for the layout. They appear to have been off a sting of Christmas lights. Although it may take a while, I always try to incorporate gifts form the kids into the layout.  At the time, I had an idea of making them a 'home' next to the Underground Lego Station.  I forgot about it until this weekend, when I was working on some other wiring in that area.  Here's a couple pictures of the results.  Although their room is quite big, the door is small so its' heard to see them all in it from 1 angle.  The room is lit by a push button controlled light, which makes the yellow M&M appear to be wearing stripes,  Still need to put the door casing on to finish it up.

NTS&B Spring Section Controls

Worked most of last weekend setting up the switch track and track power controls for the Outside 2 loops in the Spring section.  The big toggle switches over the transformer are used to select the ZW power, or the 1 extra Remote Track Power Controller that can be used for debugging track problems, or just running a train remotely.  A similar module was created for the Subway when I first started out, bit this one is much simpler to create and hang.   Eventually (hopefully in the near future), the Subway one will be replaced, and one will be added to the Heliz/Winter loops also. Here are some pics of the control panel, and the latest overall layout.
