I am working on a way to horizontally adjust the track at the end of the gate-bridge to compensate for temperature changes.

Naches River update
I have now added a first layer of Mod Podge water to my Naches River. When the water (glue) dries I will try adding more waves.
One step closer to a bridge
I have now added the gravel and glue into the Naches river flowing under the Pacific Cascade bridge and am one step closer to adding track. After allowing the gravel to dry I will be adding some drift wood and grass on the sand bars and maybe a hobo camp.
Naches river bridge on PCRy
After spending a good deal of time looking on Google Earth at the Naches river NP bridge north of Yakima, WA and the Cowlitz river east of Chehalis, WA I have drawn up a design that I hope to duplicate on my Pacific Cascade Railway gate/bridge. If the PCRy had been built as surveyed by C.A. White in 1878 it would have crossed both of these rivers.
Micro-Mark spray booth
This week I received my Micro Mark portable spray booth. I will be setting it up in the garage and venting it out the side window. I put together saw horses and the board I use for cutting track roadbed. I can set it up and take it down as needed and still have parking space for the car.
