Day 128

I got up at 7:30 this morning. I just had to get working with that track design program some more. It's actually really fun. I spent the day polishing the layout, separating it into layers for readability, and adding the outlines of the bench work. I also did a second version that used flex track for all of the places where switches aren't used.

I was surprised. When I costed it out, the flex version was $600, and the Kato only version was $770. That's because most of the cost is in the switches. I'm not sure what I'm going to do now. $600 is a lot for a toy train setup.

Besides playing, I also painted the trim board that I replaced on the well house. The paint matched pretty well, but I painted all of the door trim anyway. I also sanded the closet door to keep it from sticking. That didn't work, so I'll have to come up w/a plan B.
