The large power supply (top of picture) supplies 10 amps of power, enough to power the entire layout.
All those yellow wires provide the routing logic for the main yard, a very complex bit of work to make the operation of the yard simple.

This is one of the first signs I made with the Canon BJ Ink Jet Printer. All of my sign artwork is created using CorelDRAW, a very nice vector based graphic art & drawing program.
Even though the paper I used here is thick, the brickwork texture can be seen through the paper. I glue the signs to the buildings with white glue; this makes the paper soft and very pliable, allowing me to work the brick texture through the paper with my fingernail. The pawnbroker sign on the right side of the picture is a decal.

This yard throat was designed by John Armstrong and published in 101 Track plans, #79 Frisco Lines alternate plan.
I have long admired this track plan and was determined to build it if I ever got the space. It was a lot of work, done over the period of about two years. It runs well, I can back a long train through all that trackwork with no derailments, although I wish I had of come up with Fast Tracks Assembly Fixtures back when I built it as there are some flaws in the geometry that are driving me nuts!
Short drive.
