Here is a long awaited update of the layout, I have operational trains! I managed to do some work on the layout this weekend and have the mainline wired making it possible for train movement. This is especially great since I need to break in my newly aquired power (4 more on Saturday). Some blocks of the trackwork still need to be wired into the control panel as well as some track still needs to be layed. Here is a video clip I shot today showing some movements, the layout is still a little messy since it is still undergoing work, most of this will be cleared by this coming weekend.

I am now up to 63 total freight cars and 20 operational locomotives. The ones purchased Saturday still need their details put on.
