It has been a while since I posted. Due to the high temperatures, I have not been able to work on the layout as much as I would have liked to. Wiring and turnout motors are slowly being added. Also, I have to clean and treat the tracks with no-ox-id to improve conductivity. The older DC locomotives are getting decoders, current keepers, and speakers. I also got a replica of Gorre and Daphetid #34 on EBay. Some of the locomotives have been sent to a local locomotive repairer for new motors and a couple of minor repairs. I have added a video of a brief test of #34 and of a DCC installation in a Southern Pacific whale back tender. The tender still needs to have the painting finished.
