Still spiking. Finished the approach to lower Blackhawk and replaced the bench work for upper Blackhawk yard. Also finished spiking the Cashier Stamp Mill and working my way up to Lower Clear Creek Siding.
On constructing engines, I've decided to let the partial scale drawings "out the door" (so to speak). These are 1:1 drawings that aren't finished yet - I still need to measure and place the whistle, bell, diamond stack on both engines as well as the lower/back boiler for the 0-6-0T. I've figured out what the crank pins will look like and plan on starting to fabricate them over the holidays, so with luck I'll have more on that for my next update (after the new year)...
