Finally got areound to doing some work on the physical plant of the TF&E Division. Today I constructed and installed the dropleaf section to go across the doorway to support the load tracks and coking track at Annibird. The "Pillar of Atlas" is made from 3/4 plywood with 1/2" plywood plates across the top and bottom, a long hinge for the actual track subroadbed and a 1/2" Plywood section for support.
The subroadbed was a square of 1/2" plywood with a section of 2" foam glued to it with liquid nails. Additional strength was given by wood screws holding the foam down. Now ya see it........
Now ya don't!
I also took a notion and redid the control panel at Anniebird so that it was easier to undrstand and operate, and has room for expansion for the new trackage that will be on the dropleaf.
