The following shots show the beginning of ‘bridging the gap’. I built modules 3 to 6 on one side of the room, with 6 being a turnback loop. Then I built modules 14 to 10 on the other side, obviously in the opposite direction, starting with 14/15 on either side of the hole in the wall that connects the two rooms. Module 10 is another turnback loop, representing the spot where the MoPac crossed under US 54 at almost a right angle. These modules then got built out with track and, eventually, scenery.
In order to bridge the gap I built module 7, representing Eureka, and module 9, representing a spot in the middle of nowhere that had a set of reverse curves. Module 8 then would close the gap, and it has the Fall River Bridge at Eureka. Module 7 served more as a spot to lay down scenery materials for the next year, while module 8 was out of the way in the next room so I could easily walk around without ducking under.[attachment=4:1uwh0je8]P1030027.JPG[/attachment:1uwh0je8][attachment=3:1uwh0je8]P1030037.JPG[/attachment:1uwh0je8][attachment=2:1uwh0je8]P1030043.JPG[/attachment:1uwh0je8][attachment=1:1uwh0je8]P1030047.JPG[/attachment:1uwh0je8][attachment=0:1uwh0je8]P1030049.JPG[/attachment:1uwh0je8]
