Here are a few photos to
show the progress we've made on the Lighthouse Point Railroad in the
second half of 2009.
This view is of the future "missile
railcar base" consisting of three "stub" tracks in a small
yard. Notice the Air Force security police vehicle at the
center right of the photo standing guard over the two missile
boxcars.

For those curious about how we created
this scene, here's an explantory photograph of the same
scene.

Since the above photos were taken,
we've installed a signal bridge over the two mainlines right where
the pink description box appears in the second version of the
photo. An Infrared Train Activation Device (ITAD) was
installed next to the 7-11 building to activate the signal on the
O-64 outerloop. The wiring work will be finished, then a
cyclone fence will be installed around the missile railcar base
followed by the remaining scenery work.
This is a "north to south" view of the
layout as it looked in mid-October 2009. All of the
accessories are electrified and working properly.
All of the buildings are illuminated with the
exception of the gate guard's shack behind the floodlight
tower at the left center of the picture. That building's light
will be connected once the missile railcar base's gate is
permanently located when the cyclone fencing is installed.
 Stay tuned for further progress updates!
