Actioned tonight:

1. Finished wiring turnouts P265-P267.
2. Sticky track over P264 & P267 seems ok now.
3. Reinstalled turnouts P311 & P312. Had to solder in place – seems ok. Had to use a Bronze tie strip in order to use a large amount of solder over one of the joins. Need to test the electrical contacts of the turnouts now that they have been reinstalled. This can wait until after Sunday’s NMRA visit.

Outstanding Actions for current phase:

1. Test UP/CBQ loop for freight running and run test trains on both the UP and DRGW trackage ahead of NMRA meeting on Sunday.
2. Plan to show trains running to NMRA group before painting bee.
3. Vacuum entire garage and dust all surfaces ahead of painting. All stuff needs to be above layout.
4. Buy Black Mat Paint and other supplies for the NMRA working bee on Sunday.
