Seen here is a view of a portion of the CZM modular layout at the WGH on Tour Show held recently in Portland. The Central End module is at its first show while the more experienced Canyon Module (seen to the right) is once again called into service. At this point, we are still using plastic table cloths for skirting - since the show, I've acquired fabric which I'll use to make permanent skirting in time for the next show (LOTS National Convention Train Show in July).
Although not fully wired, the freight yard still served a useful purpose as a staging area. Using a five-finger technique, assembled consists could be brought around to the mainline (which was fully functional) and hooked up to an engine for running over the 5+ mile run we had setup on the inside loop.
At this point, all of the turnout controls are in place and functional. I've found that each turnout control required some attention to tuning them for proper operation to make sure that the points align flush to the appropriate rail when the control lever is in its final position. These controls have been a bit of challenge to get right but they sure look good and lots of show visitors were quite interested in seeing them in operation.
