The plan is on the tables

     The SCARM program gives us the opportunity to print the plan 1 to 1. This meant about 120 pages to be printed and taped together. It makes it easier to install your tracks. On the print out, I also have all the elevations marked.

     Every now and then, I would take a break and search the internet for how to do things. More often I would find the answer, but sometimes it was so confusing. I never wanted to bother people on forums as I thought my questions would be minimal. But now I know better after making mistakes, besides, most of the people on the forums are very helpful.

     My first mistake was to glue the turnouts. I thought I was doing everything right as per some videos I saw on YouTube. So I'll need to unglue all my turnouts because I want to install tortoise switches.

    I also did buy a few things for my layout. I bought a crane for my container area, a few more freight cars and the train station for the passenger train.
