Here are a few photos of the trackwork. It is going slowly partly because of the spikes that I am using and partly because I am trying to be extra careful since this is going to be on the end of the "module." Since I am going for radio control with batteries, I am not concerned with having individual 39' lengths of rail. One of which is half that because of being at the joint, of course.

| Spiking is coming along, but there is a small problem ...I forgot to distress the ties! |
 |
| After distressing the ties, I moved the rails back into position. The ditressed ties are the discolored ones past the end of the short length of rail ... |
And that's where things stand at the moment. I don't have to wake up at 4am tomorrow, so a little more time can be spent working on this tonight ... maybe.
Jim, I may have missed something but why have you had to modify the Sweepsticks and what have you done to them?
