Flour Mills
Last month I had some details of the flour mill that my old workmate Ross has been constructing from Cornerstone kits for me. Well we mounted the front section to the rest of the "framework. This is a lift out section should problems with the track behind and underneath occur later.

The roof and its detailing remains...
Turnout Motors
I have installed 28 below baseboard and one above baseboard PECO turnout motors with accessory switches. The masking tape "tabs" are fixed to the turnout point motor shafts and will be "cropped" after turnout has been tested for operation from the control panel. Thanks to Rossco who helped with the Western end - it made things go a lot quicker,
