had a few nasty and difficult weeks with neither time nor energy to work on my layout. but now it's getting better and i managed to work quite a few hours. installing dividing walls, fascia, ballasting track. yesterday i managed to start building the landscape in some places. in the meantime my buddy markus soldered numerous track feeders to the central bus. what a difference ! trains run much smoother with a feeder every few feet opposite to one feeder for 60ft of track. thanks again !
