This will likely be the last layout at the shop before they are forced to relocate.

Not sure how long the rebuild will take, they hoped to be done yesterday but the tractor broke down on them.

Wish my day was not already planned out.. I would like to be able to lend a hand even it was for an hour or two... but my 1:1 car needs to be picked up from the dealer today in West Fort Worth...

But I am eager to see how the layout ends up

Nothing really to see as of now. Just looks pretty flat still.

Much further along now! Looks great. Much more open and free flowing it looks like. Wonder if they are going to do the onroad track like they thought.
