The Distraction

 OK, one reason progress on paper mill section has been slow is the distraction caused by quick notice to move Knowledge Park Shortline to its display case.  Got the notice last Friday, removed legs and disconnected two sections and some wires on Monday, moved the two sections yesterday, and did some detail work today.

Pretty pleased with progress; yet to finish cleaning track and locomotive wheels and some details of scenicking.


Door bell transformers being used for lighting on the "downtown" section were "blowing out" previously.  Our Electrical Engineering "consultant" recommended beefier replacement transformer.  That's why some wiring was disconnected until new transformers arrived.  Crawled into base of cabinet today to connect transformers.  Tried hard to label wires to help reconnections.  EE consultant recommended using wire nuts.  Done:

All lights are working; time will tell if new transformers were good choice:
