Thanks Ron, The main lines should provide lots of pics for you

I hope to have some city or town interurban operation as well.

Some pictures of the work in progress, I have captioned them

This shows a span I had to put in as the tracks where to close to allow poles to stand there.
I have insulated it to allow seperate operation , as all the other poles are independent.

Great progress Chris. you sure have been busy. I love those sweeping cirves. The track flows very naturally.

Hi Rick have a click on the link above.
Traction refers in this instance to electric operated railways, I model the 1940s when interurbans travelled on there own right of way and entered the cities on the street tracks.

Check my links below.

It`s a whole new way to model railways.

OK, thanks Chris, I've always thought that looked really cool from the Photos I've seen, just didn't know what it was called.
