Pierre at Greenfield Station with the RDC. He is checking on the new Ice Box building.

Pierre started the day operating the two Bartown locals and finished the day with a RDC run. Wayne did the first RDC run plus the five Main Line runs. Bruce, who joined us for the first time in too many months, did the Roseton Switcher. Barry was busy as usual in the Mill. Glen and Jeff did the Dogwood switching. I had the fun jobs of the Yard and MEC Transfer.

We all had a great time.

This will be the last operating session for awhile, with two Shows in the next three weeks. This time will allow the WRS Maintaince Crew some time to work on a few issues in Greenfield with the diamond derailing some cars.

Update March 12th

Another update. As you can see below the MEC Yard has had a third track added. In this process the first two tracks had two feet plus added to each.

One of the other projects I have been working on is the Town of Greenfield. I have been arranging some of my building to see what the area could be.

In this arrangement, I was looking to where I would place the road to get from one side of the town to the other. Which made me look at my other two towns. Neither one has a road to connect the two sides of the town together. When Dogwood was used as UMG modules, a third module, Crossroads was install beside them to provide the required road. But on the WRS layout, Crossroads is not included. So the picture below shows the crews busy installing a road.

Engineering is still looking at options for Roseton.

The other project I am working on is to use more rail cars from the North East on the layout. After finding two boxes of rolling stock, I which I had packed away about a year ago, I have found more of my rolling stock for the North East. Now some of these cars will have to be renumbered, which is why some of them had been packed away.
