Cracks at KPSL

 As noted in previous post, the crack between Sections 2 & 3 of the Knowledge Park Shortline needs a little attention.  Made some effort today with poster board, spackling, paint, ground foam, and a few ties.  Could not get the diluted white glue bottle open so painted on some super strength hair "spray" and used a plastic spoon to distribute some "grass".  May want to come back with diluted white glue at some point and also need to insert the warehouse spur rails into the connectors.  But the layout was left with all trains running!

N Scale Maintenance!

Wow, N Scale is REALLY small.  Lots of water under the bridge and over the dam since the last post.  Significant issues with what must have been a short in the two new sections.  The two straight tracks for the two new sections are now working pretty well.  Disconnected the two tracks from each other, totally, which may have helped.  But to make things "look" like they are connected, installed a straight section between two turnouts just short of the turnouts.  Also, installed a short portion of "chain-link" fence to connect between Sections 2 and 3.

Two "before" shots -- may have to do a little filling of the cracks at some point.

Have to look close at this "after" photo to see the fence just to the right of the partition.
