One of the pictures that I did not load was of my goodies from shopping at the LHS. I got some plaster, a rock mold, and some coarse ballast.

Now, as a general question, what do you all think I should use all this code 100 rail for: http://community.webshots.com/photo/109373438/215080731PVGtcw ? I was thinking avout soldering it into bumpers of sorts at the ends of the tracks in my yard.

Looking good Reed, I can hardly wait to get to this stage.

Be careful making the bumpers. Since they will be attached across the rails, you need to insulate somewhere to prevent a short.
